Lovely review in Gramophone of James Way’s Britten Canticles album on @delphianrecords.com - “…Way’s partnership with the eloquent Australian mezzo-soprano effortlessly generates a keen dramatic instinct…
this issue should not be missed.”

I bought the Hardy first, music & arrangements by Arthur Keegan. Fantastic, I must hear more of Lotte Betts-Dean. I looked about and found the Stuart Macrae which is easily worthy of her beautiful voice. Two stunning collections of English Song. Very sensitive treatments of voice & instrumentation.

CD cover for 'The Past & I' Music and arrangements by Arthur Keegan featuring Mezzo-Soprano Lotte Betts-Dean, the Ligeti Quartet, and James Girling on guitar.

CD cover for 'Earth thy cold is keen'. New works by Stuart Macrae for Mezzo-Soprano Lotte Betts-Dean. Also features violin and cello duo Sequoia. Stuart Macrae plays harmonium and electronics.

Back home and straight into it with a visit to the House of Lords yesterday courtesy of ENO, to celebrate the one and only Thea Musgrave. A huge honour to meet her and sing her flute-voice duo ‘Primavera’ for her, and for many wonderful creatives in the room. Thanks ENO and flautist Claire Wickes! ❤️
