Bevan is at her most persuasive in the lesser-known songs she chooses. She and Middleton excel in Ralph Vaughan Williams' late song "Tired' and it would be impossible to imagine a more satisfying version of Frank Bridge's almost bluesy "Come to me in my dreams'. Those who have passed and the past itself are well remembered in such a song.

he overriding impression is one of contained, understated sincerity...It's well nigh faultless, the whole thing, and the most moving recital I've heard for some time.

Four characteristics, almost all excellent, mark Bevan’s singing. She phrases and colours words with exceptional sensitivity. She especially shines singing in French. High notes are conquered firmly and easily; Bevan’s voice, above everything, is robust. My only request is for more audible consonants, though even when a word’s outline is blurred the feeling behind it is never obscure.
