Settings by Haydn, Quilter, Dove, Schubert, Poulenc and Finzi of Shakespeare texts mark the 400th anniversary of the playwright’s death. Interspersed with these songs are Shakespeare readings, and Benjamin Britten’s Lachyrmae for viola and piano, based on the music of John Dowland who was Shakespeare’s contemporary.
