'... much enjoyment and interest ...'

American Song. Meriel Dickinson, Peter Dickinson

Originally recorded on 28 March 1977 at All Saints Church, Petersham, UK, this recital appeared on the Unicorn label on RHS 353. Meriel Dickinson's mezzo voice reminds me of Sylvia McNair and Dawn Upshaw who are renowned for their similar choice of repertoire. Both Meriel and pianist/composer brother Peter Dickinson were born at Lytham St Annes and specialize in American music...
