Alasdair Munro says:

There is a superb recording on Hyperion by Lisa Milne.

V. Lind says:

I learned this at about the age of five, taught by my father. It has always been a favourite; thank you for this lovely version.

E says:

What better image of longing that the sea embracing the shore? The scent of the sea comes back to me as I listen….”music of my heart.”

Hugh Kerr says:

Well I think Zoe is better than Judith but then as the editor of the Edinburgh Music Review I’m biased!
