John Rutter’s Three Shakespeare Songs bring the Bard’s timeless verses to life with cheerful warmth. His predecessor Ralph Vaughan Williams’ own Shakespeare Songs provide contrast with their darker, velvety sonorities. Libby Croad’s Brontë Suite and other poetry settings come together in this marriage of lyricism and harmony.
