I just got hit by a huge wave of nostalgia......this was my audition piece for college nearly two years ago, and Allen was the singer who sang the version I had. And so began the journey............:-)
I'm accompanying my father on this piece. I must say; this is quite the challenge to learn on piano. The notes aren't very difficult (there are a couple of tricky arpeggios, but that's it), but as you can tell, the expressiveness needs to be right. It is a wonderful thing to play, though.

@licensedtochill1 No, Malcolm Martineau. This is not from the recording Allen did of this song with Parsons.

A lovely and most effective paradox : a song in praise and celebration of silence.

A stunning version,gripping in its sculpted dramatic intimacy.
Just a thought: please imagine this without,Harmony,Tempo,Texture,Introduction or Postlude, just a naked vocal line....
That essential make-or-break partner, the Pianist, should ALWAYS be credited!

Poem by Rossetti, music by RVW, singing by sir Tom. Couldn't be more beautiful.
Photography is spectacular, too.
