Songs and Sonnets from Shakespeare
This second Shakespeare cycle, by George Shearing, was premièred in 1999 with the composer at the piano, Neil Swainson playing bass, and John Rutter guest-conducting. John instantly loved the music - 'so fresh and youthful, so witty, tender and varied' that he recorded it with the Cambridge Singers.

“Altogether a real ‘feel good’ disc…” - BBC Music Magazine

“A delightful disc. Strongly recommended…” - Gramophone
