Alice Coote mezzo-soprano; Julius Drake piano

Whether encountered in opera, oratorio or song, the artistry of the leading mezzo is admired worldwide. A recent Wigmore programme included, in the words of the critic of Music OMH, ‘a devastating performance of the Rückert Lieder, in which every sentiment was laid bare. A singer at the peak of her powers, Coote infused each song with a wealth of feeling and tonal colour.’
