Reviews
This is rather special: one of the finest British tenors plus a guitarist who can obtain such a range of colour and expression from his instrument that 74 minutes doesn’t seem a second too long… Superb recordings too: intimate without ever feeling too close and finely balanced.
BBC Music Magazine
This is English music proclaiming its pedigree and perhaps asserting a national identity that the post-1945 generation of composers had rediscovered, first with Purcell and then in the High English Renaissance.
Nicholas Maw’s ‘Six Interiors’ recorded here for the first time by Philip Landgridge and Stephen Marchionda complements Britten’s ‘Songs from the Chinese’ in this thoughtfully created recital.
Impeccable artistry in the songs and eloquence in the guitar solos.
Gramophone
…on this evidence theres still no finer singer-actor in the world.
London Evening Standard
I doubt whether I shall ever hear Aschenbach sung with more telling, truthful or touching insight.
The Times
