Resonus is proud to welcome internationally celebrated artists Nicky Spence (tenor) and Malcolm Martineau (piano) with the release of a recital album consisting of a musical journey of Shakespeare Songs set by a diverse and eclectic range of composers from Purcell and Haydn, through to Britten, Quilter, Tippett and John Dankworth, via Chausson and Schubert. Entitled As You Like It: Shakespeare Songs, the album shows the supreme versatility of Spence's voice and abilities from Romantic lieder to jazz-inspired works, all superbly accompanied by the universally acclaimed pianist Malcolm Martineau. Also included on the album is the world premiere recording of Three Tempestuous Tunes by young composer Alex Woolf. Born in 1995, and already an award-winning composer, Woolf is a principal composer with the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain and a recipient of the BBC Young Composer Award for 2012. “Rich and quite strange, to paraphrase Shakespeare is the only possible summation of this dazzling, bewildering collection of songs written for and inspired by Shakespeare. Spence is game for anything...Initially, [he] presents himself as a well-groomed, somewhat unoriginal singer...Soon, though, one realises he is indeed original, suggesting that an undercurrent in his disc is a catalogue of singing styles.” Gramophone Magazine, March 2013 “not only an opportunity to sample the breadth and variety of Shakespeare settings through the centuries...but also the interpretative range of both artists. It's also a lot of fun...[the Schubert are] particularly well suited to Spence's flexible, fulsome and multi-hued tenor.” International Record Review, May 2013 “Spence’s voice is naturally thrilling, radiant and luminescent in just about every second of this programme, crossing stylistic boundaries with the silvery ease of a born entertainer. If anything, the recording production level is a little in-your-face at times, but there’s no getting away from the charismatic listenability of this ultra-svelte performing duo.” The Scotsman, 11th February 2013 ***** |
