In Flanders Field

I  read this review at the weekend and immediately ordered the CD:

The CD features Coope, Boyes and Simpson, ie is Morpugo-less, but nonetheless it is brilliant.  It arrived just over an hour ago and I'm currently listening to it.

I know some of the music, especially the songs that feature in Oh What A Lovely War, but these performances are stripped back and much rougher.  Brilliant!
