Anna Lapwood, organ and conductor; Pembroke College Chapel Choir. Sony Classical 19658831402I have followed the young British musician Anna Lapwood (b. 1995) on Twitter (now known as “X” since its takeover by a notorious right-wing ultrabillionaire) for quite some time. Her posts there show her to be a charming and unpretentious artist, devoted not only to her craft, but also to helping other musicians, especially young musicians, express themselves through music. She is skilled not only as an organist, but as a conductor and broadcaster. Inn […]

Opera scenes from the Young Artists of the National Opera Studio with the orchestra of English National Opera at Cadogan Hall
[…] Tito, Massenet's Werther, Bizet's Les pecheurs de perles, Donizetti's La fille du regiment, Stravinsky's The Rake's Progress, Handel's Orlando, Bizet's Carmen, Britten's Albert Herring, Massenet's Cendrillon and Verdi's Falstaff. The singers were the 2021/22 Young Artists - sopranos Alexandra Chernenko, Ffion Edwards, Inna Husieva, Laura Lolita Peresivana, mezzo-sopranos Sian Griffiths, Joanna Harries, Shakira Tsindos, counter-tenor Logan Lopez Gonzalez, tenor Monwabisi Lindi, baritones Josef Ahn, Kamohelo Tsotetsi - and the 2021/22 Associate Artists - mezzo-sopranos Arlene Belli, Judith Le Breuilly, tenor Philip Clieve, baritones Jolyon Loy, Jevan McAuley, bass Thomas D Hopkinson. With one exception, all the excerpts involved a number of singers, duets, trios, a quintet and a sextet, and one of the things that came over from the evening was the way the singers interacted with each other, the evening wasn't so much about individual performances as the sense of what can be achieved together. And whilst the […]

A Life On-Line: reinventing Machaut, exploring harmoniemusik and Ethel Smyth's teacher
[…] The Rape of Lucretia to Mozart's Idomeneo to Puccini's Le Villi to Britten's Billy Budd, ending with the Act Two sextet from Mozart's Don Giovanni. There was no axe to grind, simply a fine sequence of young artists engaging us. It is invidious to highlight individuals when all the performances were strong, but two performances stayed in the memory afterwards. Joylon Loy's powerful account of Billy in the Darbies from Britten's Billy Budd and Arlene Belli's performance as Britten's Lucretia really hit home. [YouTube] On Friday, I caught the penultimate of Opera North's Whitehall Road Sessions, live-streamed concerts from the company's rehearsal studios in Leeds. This programme featured two quintets for piano and wind, Mozart's Quintet in E flat major and Heinrich von Herzongenberg's Quintet in E flat major. An intriguing combination of works which really drew my attention. Mozart's quintet, written in 1784, was unusual for the time with […]
