A Life On-Line: A disappearing hero in Glasgow, a dramatic soprano in recital, late Schumann in Croydon
[…] Kathryn Stott and cellist Guy Johnston in music by Schubert, Faure, Berlioz and Quilter. Broderick's operatic repertoire encompasses Brunnhilde in Wagner's Siegfried, the Marschallin in Strauss' Der Rosenkavalier and Lady Billows in Britten's Albert Herring, and she recently made her role debut as Leonore in Beethoven's Fidelio at Garsington, yet she is also a keen recitalist and I still vividly remember her performance of 'The Fieldmarshal' from Mussorgsky's Songs and Dances of Death with the Myrthen Ensemble at the Wimbledon International Music Festival in 2014 [see my review]. And it was lovely to hear a soprano with such richly luxurious voice singing Schubert. We heard An die Musik, An die Entfernte, and Gretchen am Spinnrade, followed by solo piano, Faure's Nocturne No. 11, then Faure's Les Berceaux, Les Présents, and Après un Rêve.

Wigmore Hall January Specials
[…] Sophie Daneman, a very well balanced pair of voices. The Nash Ensemble are absolutely unequalled by any other regular Wigmore Hall ensemble. On 12th January, they're doing two concerts of British music, combining chamber music and voice.: Warlock's The Curlew and Britten's Songs from the Chinese. The Britten Sinfonia are doing a programme which includes Richard Rodney Bennett and Gerald Barry. "Songs to the Moon" is another interesting concert on 18th. The Myrthen Ensemble comprise several up and coming singers, fairly well known as individuals, but here they're singing songs and part songs together. Brahms and Schumann of course, but also Warlock, Maconchy, Saint-Saëns, Barber, and a clutch of delicious French songs by Fauré, Debussy etc. And that's just ONE month, vocal related, and one venue!
