The Great War was the first major conflict to generate an outpouring of creative work from those who either fought on the battlefields, or were somehow deeply affected by it, including writers, painters and musicians. Almost unwittingly, they became commentators for their age, and changed society’s conception of what war meant. Charles Villiers Stanford alone taught numerous composers affected by the war, including Charles Wood, Henry Walford Davies, George Dyson, Gustav Holst and Ivor Gurney, all featured on this recording, and others, including George Butterworth and Cecil Coles, who were among those killed in action, their music silenced at a tragically young age.Tracklist:
