Ken (Kenneth) Neate, tenor: Selected Sacred Songs

Описание: A digital conversion of an LP containing sacred music performed by the Ballarat City Choir and Ballarat Brass Ensemble, featuring tenor Ken Neate. Some tracks are of a Christmas theme.

Conductor and director: W.H.Keith Young, F.T.C.L.., L.Mus.A., L.R.S.M.
Organists: Frank Robertson-Smith; W.H.Keith Young; Lindsay Jenkins
Pianist: Frank Robertson-Smith

Cyril Stevens Studios Pty. Ltd. on the Astor label - SV-84. A Spotlight recording. The year of performance is as yet not known.

The LP was purchased in the late 2000s from a charity thrift shop and has languished in the back shed or in a box in a spare bedroom until now. I may one day redo the conversion to bring out more of the quality of the high end range; the LP is in excellent condition when played.

Martin Cooke, a pupil and close friend of Ken's, has provided some beautiful and moving insights, including nice anecdotes, into Ken's life:
