The title of this release is taken from a poem by John Masefield ("Death opens unknown doors. It is most grand to die.") that was set by Ivor Gurney as one of his Four Songs ("From the Trenches"). What all three composers here had in common was direct experience of World War I: George Butterworth was killed in 1916; Ralph Vaughan Williams saw action as a medic; and his student Gurney survived but was eventually institutionalized. Only Gurney's songs date from the war years; the others predate the war. But Butterworth's seem prescient due to the fact that the texts of his favorite poet, A.E. Housman, often took the deaths of young men in war as a theme. For annotator Malcolm MacDonald, the two cycles of Housman songs included here are examples of "the spare, economical nature of Butterworth's invention." To each his own, but others may feel that his settings, in unpacking Housman's poetry, lose its awesomely understated quality. Stronger are the lesser-known songs of Gurney, one of whose texts is of his own composition. The Vaughan Williams Songs of Travel, setting a poem cycle by Robert Louis Stevenson and intended to emulate Schubert's Die Winterreise, are the least directly connected to the theme, but baritone James Rutherford delivers compelling readings of a darkly lyrical hue. Worthwhile for lovers of the modern British song, with fine engineering from Sweden's BIS label.
