Philip Heseltine was born in London in 1894. In his short life he won public acclaim for the songs he wrote under the pseudonym Peter Warlock. Undoubtedly he was the composer of some of the finest of all English solo songs, remarkable for their intensity, memorable tunes, and harmonic individuality. This fantastic album features 14 of Warlock's settings of English poems, and delightfully convey not only the meaning and rhythm of the words, but something of the atmosphere and charm of the period.
