"GOSSIANA"
GILES DAVIES, STEVEN DEVINE with the
GOSS MALE QUARTET

Subtitled, "A 1920s anthology of song" this album is not filled only music composed during the 1920s, but is made in tribute to one of Britain's greatest, and now almost forgotten, singers: John Goss.  At the height of his career in the 1920s, Goss was a close friend of Warlock, Moeran and other composers, and ahead of his time in giving mixed recitals, including all types of song from lieder to sea shanties. This is reflected in this CD. Giles Davies played Goss in a recent film directed by Tony Britten.
