Additional information

Beryl Davis was one of the most distinctive voices to emerge from Britain in the 1930s, later becoming a familiar presence to American audiences as well. I Hear a Dream brings together a generous selection of her most memorable recordings — many of them major hits on both sides of the Atlantic — offering a vivid portrait of her smooth phrasing, gentle swing and unmistakable warmth.

The programme opens with Bluebirds in the Moonlight and the dreamy title track, I Hear a Dream, before moving into a run of early‑career favourites such as Especially for You, Don’t Worry ’Bout Me, Undecided and You Made Me Love You. These songs capture Davis at her most effortless, blending light jazz inflections with a clear, expressive delivery.

The collection continues with lively pieces like Ting‑A‑Ling, Seventeen Candles, Lying in the Hay and Scatter Brain, balanced by tender performances of Careless, I Cried for You, Every Day Is One Day Nearer and The London I Love. Later tracks — I’m Nobody’s Baby, Miss You, I’m Old Fashioned, That Old Black Magic, Star Eyes, No Love, No Nothin’, My Heart Isn’t in It, Do You Love Me, Put That Kiss Back Where You Found It and Alexander’s Ragtime Band — round out a varied and engaging programme that showcases her versatility across ballads, swing numbers and sentimental favourites.

Altogether, I Hear a Dream stands as a warm, nostalgic tribute to Beryl Davis’s artistry — a singer whose elegance and sincerity left a lasting mark on popular music.
