David Owen Norris (Piano) // The solo song recital was introduced into England only in the 1880s, when it was pioneered by the German singers Raimund von Zur Mühlen and George Henschel. Thus the full impact of Schubert's and Schumann's song cycles on the British public came only at the end of the nineteenth century, long after that of the 'royalty' ballad, whose middle- or lowbrow appeal had given rise to song-plugging 'ballad concerts' of a popular nature from the 1860s onwards.
