Cardiff Week on Radio 3 continues with tenor Ben Johnson and pianist Llyr Williams on stage live at St. David's Hall. Celebrating the rich variety to be found in the British song repertory, their recital features Ivor Gurney, Elgar and Vaughan Williams, who briefly taught Gurney. A group of lesser known figures follows, among them Maude Valerie White and Amy Woodforde Finden. One of Hilaire Belloc's cautionary tales is set to music by Liza Lehman, and the duo conclude with some favourites among Britten's evocative and charming folk-song settings.
