UPCOMING PERFORMANCES
“It’s ravishing, the balance of lushness and simplicity perfectly judged in Sampson’s delivery. Sampson’s sweet, true soprano is on home ground with the early repertoire.”
GRAMOPHONE MAGAZINE, ALEXANDRA COGHLAN
“At the centre of it all is soprano Carolyn Sampson, whose presence gives the production its authority … she sings with clarity, control and a cool dramatic intelligence, never overplaying (or oversinging) the music’s emotional weight.”
