Included are songs written especially for the mezzo such as Stephen Bicks's moving setting of John Milton's On His Blindness. Also today, Peter Moore - who makes his debut as a soloist at the Proms tomorrow evening - is heard in a recording he made at the ´óÏó´«Ã½ studios during his time as a member of Radio 3's young artists' scheme.
