Kate Royal (soprano), Graham Johnson (piano) with Felicity Lott (soprano), Ann Murray (mezzo-soprano) & Christoph Bantzer (reciter) Kate Royal is the soprano of the moment, at the start of her career yet an acknowledged great artist, and her performance here of the Eichendorff Liederkreis Op 39 is one where ‘imagination, intellect and vocal technique are inextricably fused in the single moment of a song’, as The Times wrote of her Wigmore Hall recital in January this year. Here’s the story. Kate Royal recorded an album of Lieder with Graham Johnson for EMI’s Debut series, but when it became clear just how exciting a prospect she is, the record company held the Lieder and went with a larger-scale debut recital. So it is good now to hear how Royal shapes up in miniatures by Schumann, again with Johnson. You can hear why the master accompanist is a fan. - Gramophone Magazine “The prime attraction for many here… Kate Royal in the popular Eichendorff Liederkreis… Royal's pure, pellucid tone, free-soaring top notes… and refined musicianship give constant pleasure.” Gramophone Magazine, Janurary 2008 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
