Carolyn Sampson and Iestyn Davies have collaborated on many occasions in
the field of Baroque opera and oratorio, but on this occasion they
venture into a somewhat different territory. In the company of Joseph
Middleton, they have been exploring the Lieder for one and two voices of
Mendelssohn and Schumann, combining them with songs and duets by Roger
Quilter. And even though the disc actually opens with a set of Purcell
songs – repertoire which both singers have previously made their mark
in – they are here performed with the piano accompaniments realized by
Benjamin Britten, turning them into something quite new and different.
‘Creamy’, ‘luminous’ and ‘supple’ are words that often appear in reviews about both Carolyn Sampson and Iestyn Davies, and in these duets they achieve a marvellous blend as well as the utmost precision. They are aided in this by Joseph Middleton, described in The Telegraph (UK) as an ‘unfailingly sensitive accompanist’
