This record of a Nazi Party Congress rally in Nuremberg still sickens with its close-up view of the spellbinding Fuhrer (this was the original Springtime for Hitler), still enthralls with the artful precision of its editing craft.

...like Schubert's Der Wanderer and Finzi's Rollicum-Rorum, won him the Gramophone magazine award for best newcomer. Although EMI are cagey about the figures, it sold tens of thousands - extremely good for an unknown singer - persuading the label to sign him to a five-year contract. His triumph in New Zealand music competitions led famous judges Sarah Walker and Tom Krause to recommend him to London's Royal College of Music, where he won the college's gold medal.
