"I consider myself as a singer of the people "Peter Dawson's description of himself was indeed apt and he remains one of the last centuries finest troubadours enjoying widespread and popular appeal.
This re-mastered double CD celebrates the art and versatility of this unique Australian performer with recordings made between the mid 1920's and the late 1930's.
The first programme devotes itself to Favourite Songs and Ballads and features many of his most famous recordings, whilst the second concentrates on Oratorio, Opera and Leider, plus a selection recalling some fine moments from our great British musical heritage.
