The beauty of Alice Coote’s mezzo-soprano glows with radiance.
June 2015
This is a beautifully formed recital shining different lights on a central theme. It is distinguished by Coote’s thorough absorption in the stylistic character of each song, conveying their individual sentiments and sensitivities with her rich, liquid mezzo and relishing the colouristic potential of the poetic texts. Graham Johnson’s piano accompaniments are, as ever, wonderfully apt and complementary to the voice
10th May 2015
Coote is in sumptuous voice, Johnson in his element.
