Stuart Burrows -" My Dearest Dear " Ivor Novello
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- He began his working career as a teacher in Bargoed but his magnificent talent as a tenor soon brought him enduring fame and good fortune. His recitals included works by Beethoven, Berlioz, Schubert, Sullivan, Adams, Tippett, Tchaikovsky, Mallote, Mahler, Offenbach and Handel. He has earned worldwide recognition for being adept at oratorios, operas and specialising in the music of Puccini, Verdi, Donizetti and especially Mozart, earning him the title of "The King of Mozart".
It was a far cry from the days when he sang as a boy soprano from his bedroom window to neighbours on the street below. As a member of the congregation at the local Bethel Chapel he first performed as a soloist by singing "Bless This House".
He occupied the top rung of the operatic lyric tenor ladder for 20 years from the mid-1960s, particularly known for his fine performances of Mozart's works. Few people realise he could have been a professional rugby player before converting his career to the opera and concert stage.
Recorded Circa. 1980

Wonderful Stuart Burrows , a heavenly voice and a fine human being.
I'd forgotten just how good he is. In his time Britain's finest tenor I think.
Certainly - heard him many times at Covent Garden and he was the finest Mozart tenor since Tauber.
Songs were so beautiful back then
❤ what can i say what a gentleman met stuart many years ago fab
My late dad's favourite. Someone used to sing this in his local pub beautifully and it brings back happy memories.
Ivor Novello was over the top but brilliant all the same and Stuart Burrows preserves the memory.
Wales has produced many fine singers over the years but none finer than this magnificent tenor. Diolch yn fawr, dyn annwyl!
Superbly sung !!!
I am really enjoying "discovering" the lovely melodies of Ivor Novello. My fav is "The land of might have been".
I never heard this beautiful song more beautifully sung !!!
I adore Ivor's songs and I love Stuart's rendition. I wish someone would sing this to me. Lucky Lady.
Just wonderful.... What a voice....
Wonderful
This is beautiful singing. If only we had this today..
brings tears to the eyes of anyone with a heart..
Beautiful song, Stuart Burrows sings it beautifully!😘
Thanks for the messages he is a superb singer,met him some years ago.
How I love this music, thank you Ivor.
Wonderful. What happiness these beautiful songs and singers give us, and who better than Stuart Burrows - a supreme talent. Thank you for posting.
Mr burrows at his best if only songs of this calibre were around today
Lovely,lovely sentiments and beautifully sung
Touches my heart so well
Beautiful Novello song performed very well, thanks!
Great memories of Burrows and his delicate touch...strange that Mozart isn't mentioned above as I thought he was mainly thought of as a Mozart tenor....
Brilliant
Thank you for this lovely rendering of a great Welsh composition by a great Welsh tenor. Stuart taught my brother Colin in Bargoed circa 1955. We both admired Stuart and some years later Colin followed him into the Welsh National Opera. I have a Novello album on iTunes. My friend Gareth lived near Ivor's birthplace in Cathedral Rd Cardiff.
My dearest dear,
If I could say to you
In words as clear
As when I play to you,
You'd understand
How slight the shadow that is holding us apart.
So take my hand,
I'll lead the way for you.
A little waiting and you'll reach my heart.
Your lonely hours will spread their wings and fly;
The passing show'rs will only pass you by.
If you can trust me, trust the secret in my song.
When love is true
The road is never long.
My dearest dear,
If I could say to you In words as clear
As when I play to you,
You'd understand
How slight the shadow that is holding us apart.
So take my hand,
I'll lead the way for you.
A little waiting and you'll reach my heart.
Stunning!
I too sing this song it is often requested by older people in an audience. Could listen to Stuart for hour's singing Ivor Novello. By listening also teaches me correct phrasing. Thank you
This is my very first time to hear of Ivor Novello's music. This song is beautiful and very touching. Mr. Stuart sings it beautifully. Thank you for sharing.
Dina, go to Andy Wilson - Harry Secombe sings all of Ivor Novello's songs. Romance doesn't begin to describe it.
He came to my school in Bargoed, the actress Doris Hare was born in Bargoed.
Very pleasant.
I am familiar with the wonderful show songs of Ivor Novello from my earliest years. My mother loved them, she sung them in lessons with Joan Clarkson, who was also my piano teacher. They are constructed so well, and are also so romantic, and so sensitive. From my study it appears they were written for the soprano voice, and that Stuart can sing them so well shows how gifted he is.
Oh wow, he has an old school tenor voice. Mario Lanza esk.
Lovely!
This was Stuarts wife's favourite song and after her death he found it very difficult to sing
I never heard of Stuart Burrows until I came across this song. It is a beautiful song and beautifully sang by Mr. Burrows. Ivor Novello wrote many beautiful music that warm many hearts. One of my favorites “We’ll Gather Lilacs ....” .
Some years ago dId this man have a series of programmes on the BBC?
Hello. This is by far the best recording of this song I can find anywhere. Would you have any objection to my playing it for educational purposes at a lecture on Ivor Novello? Thanks
Susan Fitzpatrick .yes help yourself to the video.
Thank you very much. I am sure it will be greatly enjoyed and appreciated
The tune remind me of Rachmaninov’s song “Zdes Khorosho”.
Can anyone tell me if this is on a cd please or Stuart recording any Ivor Novello
