The Silver Hound and Other Songs by Betty Roe

Betty Roe MBE is one of Britain's finest composers of English Song.  Roe has composed over 200 songs but the majority, particularly those composed since 1990, had remained unrecorded.  The Betty Roe Society is delighted to have produced its recording of 12 significant works, many of which are world premiere recordings.
