In the Tavern of Sweet Songs

'In The Tavern Of Sweet Songs' is the premiere recording of a substantial new contemporary classical song cycle by English composer David Lewiston Sharpe. Set to the poems of 15th Century Persian Sufi poet Jami's Salaman and Absal (translated by Edward Fitzgerald), the recording features soprano Lucy Knight, tenor Jeff Stewart and pianist Nigel Foster; "Vivid and intense performances - these are songs of luminous and atmospheric lyricism with a powerful narrative immediacy."
