In the last couple of years Peter has begun to sing many recitals featuring mainly works of English song. He appeared at the Nottingham Finzi Festival in 2006 and sang all the tenor song cycles and the cantata Dies Natalis which was repeated in Canterbury where it was conducted by the composer’s son. At this years Malvern Songfest he gave the first performances of two unpublished Gurney songs which were prepared by the composer Ian Venables whose cycle Songs of Eternity and Sorrow was also performed. Together with the pianist Philip Collin, the haunting songs of W.Dennis Browne are regularly performed in the hope that they too may find a wider audience.
