Ivor Gurney: Poet and Composer

Ivor Gurney is one of the Great War Poets commemorated in Westminster Abbey. He showed great artistic talent from a young age but suffered from bipolar disorder and spent his last fifteen years in various mental hospitals. April Fredrick (soprano), Robert Rice (baritone) and pianist William Vann present his poems and music, including settings of his own words, and some of his rarely heard late songs and works by his contemporaries: Finzi, Howells and Stanford.
