With a little help from my friends

Article Abstract:

Singer Ann Murray tries to be very honest in her performances, expressing how she would feel in a particular situation. This gives her voice, which does not have conventional beauty, an extremely intense quality. She has always believed that her singing voice should be an extension of her speaking voice, and recognizes that this means that her voice will sometimes have to have a hard edge. She is extremely unusual among singers in always relating the musical experience to the dramatic context.

Lieder of the pack

Article Abstract:

Having time in a recording studio makes it possible to seek to return music to the domestic sphere in which it originated, according to singer Ian Bostridge. However, it is also important to remember that records are made to be repeated. He recognizes that his voice has a clearly English demeanour, but feels happy with his voice and would not wish to change it. He is currently rehearsing Francesca Zambello's new production of Smetana's 'The Battered Bride.'
