MANY thanks for uploading this wonderful rendition of a wonderful and meaningful message by a gifted man from a purer musical era when articulation and breath control were skills perfected and added to voice quality.
@MartinG914 ...loss and gain said JHNewman. One wonders if, even in today's classical word, one could find a better rendition of We'll Gather Lilacs by Booth and Ziegler. My anglophobia melts when listening to Webster Booth. You are dead on about articulation and breathing.
This is an excellent upload and an excellent rendition. His voice is a lovely combination of the English choral tradition and an educated light lyric tenor of the pre-war style. Thanks so much for uploading -- really appreciated !
I just finished listening to about 8 versions of this piece and this one is my favorite. I really love the man's voice and his interpretation.
