countessalmirena · Answer

“Sleep” by Ivor Gurney - sung by Ian Bostridge

https://youtu.be/UwMz0nAYVmg

Most beautiful and descriptive performance of this ravishing song… Bostridge sings this in long seamless strands of sound. I love, love, love the song and the poem (written 1607 by John Fletcher).

Gurney is thought to have suffered from bipolar disorder, and this was probably not helped by the mustard gas attack he suffered in WWI. Nevertheless - a genius.
