Lingering Music - Thomas Pitfield

Discovering British Art Song is like taking turns and twists in
undulating landscapes. Sabine Bergk talks with James Gilchrist
and Nathan Williamson about the variety of the songs of Thomas
Pitfield, an exceptional composer, poet, painter and peace
activist (1903-1999). In Pitfield's songs, the beauty of the
moment shines through delicate lines of shadows and light. In
many songs, the poem and the composition originate from the same
feather - Pitfield worked as his own singer songwriter, ahead of
the times.
