Soprano and mezzo soloists were audibly blended and yet also distinctive in this intimately-scaled musical gem which also featured an expressive duo of violins and continuo. Speeds were gently moving forward, but allowing the central Ad te suspiramus some impressive slowness, so that the vocal soloists, relishing the building’s acoustic enhancement, could dip in and out of the texture’s interplay.
Alessandro Scarlatti Salve regina at Wells Cathedral, July 2018, reviewed by Michael Cockerham
Two wonderfully idiomatic soloists helped to set the scene.
Rachmaninov Vespers with Sonoro at St Magnus Cathedral, Orkney, June 2018, reviewed by D James Ross in Early Music Review
A fine quartet of soloists sang the recitatives and arias. I was especially moved by Cathy Bell’s contralto voice.
