"The more one hears of Rorem's songs, too, the more intriguing they seem...The performances catch every drop of that naturalness, too; the disc may only scratch the surface of Rorem's songwriting but it crystallises its essence perfectly." Guardian, 19th November 2009 ****

The dynamic Prince Consort comprises five singers and a pianist, all of whom are drawing major international attention for their solo endeavours. Brought together by their love of singing this repertoire, Anna Leese, Jennifer Johnston, Andrew Staples, Jacques Imbrailo, Tim Mead and Alisdair Hogarth are a compelling combination. Their debut album "Ned Rorem - On an echoing road" will consolidate their success and establish them as a celebrated ensemble.
Ned Rorem is one of the most widely-recorded living American composers, who Time Magazine called "the world's best composer of art songs".
Ned Rorem - On an echoing road features songs that are lyrical, beguiling and unaffectedly simple, intriguing, melodic and intimate. They have echoes of French, English and American song repertoires whilst being distinctively Ned Rorem.
The Prince Consort will be giving the official European premiere of Ned Rorem's masterpiece song cycle 'Evidence of things not seen' at the Oxford Lieder Festival in October 2009 to coincide with the album launch.

Early in the morning
Are you the new person?

I will always love you
That shadow, my likeness
On an echoing road
I Strolled Across an Open Field

Little Elegy
Sometimes with one I love
Hymn for evening
Orchids
On a singing girl
Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal

Look down fair moon

Do I love you more than a day?
Their lonely betters

Full of life now
