A Life On-Line: the 'wrong' Xerxes, RVW in Australia, Ash Wednesday at Wigmore Hall, and Mary, Mary Quite Contrary
[…] is definitely one which pushes the bounds of string quartet repertoire. [ACO StudioCasts] Wednesday was Ash Wednesday, and Andrew Carwood and the Cardinall's Musick gave a lovely lunchtime recital, Shriven and Forgiven, at Wigmore Hall with music which reflected the period. This wasn't a service reconstruction, instead a selection of 16th century works on themes arising from Ash Wednesday. Andrew Carwood lucidly introduced the music and we heard pieces by Byrd, Tavener, Tallis, Weelkes, Mundy, Farrant, and Tye ending with the pair of settings of words from Psalm 136 (Vulgate) by Philippe da Monte and William Byrd, evidently written as complementary pieces. [Wigmore Hall] We stayed in the same world for the Marian Consort's programme, Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary. Rory McLeery directed the ensemble of 12 singers in music that was written during the early part of the reign of Queen Mary I, William Mundy's magnificent Vox patris coelestis paired […]

Secret Marriage a Kiss of Tuscan Sunshine
[…] beautiful instruments in which, without packing a surplus of volume, you could hear every word as well as see every nuance in their facility of language, their comedic timing, their facial expressions, and notably in their physical movements — constantly fresh and completely organic responses, mannerisms, and athletic agility. Lyles was both a pleasure to listen to and physically stunning as a classic Italian ‘cougar’ bombshell with glamorously set, flaming auburn hair; costume designer Daisy Farrant took full, elegant advantage of Lyles’s slender and perfectly proportioned figure with magnificent costumes (while providing a little extra ‘support’ for the choreographed utilization of cleavage).
