Winner of Cardiff Singer of the World, Scottish mezzo Catriona Morrison charms the enthusiastic audience with her varied programme of romantic songs.

Poise, control, stillness. Within two minutes of her Wigmore Hall debut, the qualities that make Elīna Garanča a consummate Lieder recitalist were evident.

Elina Garanča was alluring in a lovely recital of Brahms, Duparc and Rachmaninov with pianist Malcolm Martineau. 

Marian Anderson, the famed African-American contralto, once remarked of Kathleen Ferrier, “My God, what a voice – and what a face!” This concert was a Centenary Celebration of Ferrier’s art at the Wigmore Hall, and I reflected (not for the first time) how aptly Anderson’s words could also apply to Alice Coote, the evening’s distinguished soloist.
