Background: Shakespeare's works contain some of the most memorable references to music in the English language and have inspired some of the finest music ever written. On this SACD the Phoenix Bach Choir has assembled a deeply satisfying anthology of songs on texts by Shakespeare, set by a variety of composers.

The result is richly rewarding programme: a memorable marriage of literature and music.
