John Lawrenson - Sings For You - Handel Largo, Ave Maria - HMV LP - CLP3638

FAVOURITE HYMNS. Trad.. Praise to the Lord, the Almighty. Miller. When I survey the wondrous Cross. Stainer. Love divine, all loves seedling. Redhead. Rock of Ages. Trad. (adapted Vaughan Williams). He who would valiant be. Ireland. My song is love alone. Vaughan Williams. For all the Saints. Franck. Paais Angelicus. Schubert. Ave Mans. Handel. Rest ("Largo"). Mendelssohn. It is enough, from 'lili)ah". Handel. Hose willing my paternal lose, from "Samson". Sullivan. The Lost Chord. John Lawrenson (baritone), with the Rodney Christian Fellowship Festival Choir conducted by Ronald Smith-Bishton with Garth Benson (organ). 

This record is distinguished by the excellent diction and security of intonation of the soloist, as those who know him on television, at Sadler's Wells and lse.where will expect. I have also enjoyed greatly the forthright and straightforward style of his singing of these favourite hymns and solos. The contribution of the choir is admirable also in its security and the recording catches very well the acoustics of the Church of St Mary Redcliffe, Bristol where the recording was made. The sleeve-note tells us amongst other things that Mr Lawrenson sang before the late President Kennedy, his family and members of the American Government in 1964. Surely this was in 1963.
