Kevin Baum
Lullee, lullay. Advent, Christmas & Mystical Songs
By Dale Ghao, Dwight Okamura, Kevin Baum, Wenyi Shi
This is a recording performed and produced by Kevin Baum, tenor. A member of the North American sector of our Peter Warlock Society, Mr Baum sings works by Holst, Britten, Vaughan Williams and other composers who include three works by Warlock.
Accompanying Kevin Baum are Dwight Okamura, piano and Wenyi Shi & Dale Ghao, violins.
As yet this CD is not commercially available but I can assert with great admiration and confidence that it should be at some point in time. I can only urge any interested surfer of this page to contact Mr Baum (also a member of Clerestory) about how to obtain a copy of his CD. The musicianship, acoustic and choice of works are truly of aural magnificence.
I highly recommend this CD and welcome it as an exciting addition to the many recordings and re-issues of works by Warlock that have been rightly appraised as some of the most unique and notable songs of the 20th century. Recorded in San Francisco, CA. Recording engineer John Bischoff.
