NORTHUMBERLAND AND BEYOND
IAN PARTRIDGE (tenor), JENNIFER PARTRIDGE (piano)

Ian Partridge has become almost a legend amongst British tenors, and his partnership with his sister Jennifer produces a formidable team indeed. This album features 24 songs by one of the greatest, and yet relatively unheralded, composers - John Jeffreys. A splendid collection of quintessential Englishness but with a musical and emotional appeal that is international.

Whilst most of the songs on this album were recorded in the 1990s and appeared on a Meridian album, this new CD has been made from a completely different and superior mastertape, and has been digitally remastered, to produce the best sound.

	“Tenor Ian Partridge and his pianist sister Jennifer have done much for British music down the years. The present disc showcases the composer John Jeffreys with 24 song-writing gems... always the musical setting responds to the text sensitively and tellingly.” – Peter Palmer (Nottingham Evening Post)
