The Ballad Concert was a major feature of Victorian musical life. This CD features Artists who were leading proponents of the Concert Stage at that time. Mainly, but not exclusively appealing to the growing middle class in the late 1800s, many of the songs are still remembered and loved today. The Recordings date mainly from the early 1900's.
