Ralph Vaughan Williams: The House of Life, No. 2: Silent Noon
'Most striking was Williams’ immediacy of communication, often singing as if speaking conversationally'.
'Williams’ control at the higher end of his register was also impressive, with particular lightness on the opening note of Loveliest of trees'.
'Williams’ Schubert had energy and impatience, with a bright twinkle for Das Wandern, and expertly voiced different characters in Der Neugierige'.
'Williams’ ability to shift the emotions as quickly as they turn in these songs is what made this recital so captivating throughout'.
'Cibis also deserves credit for the range of his playing, both in the varied accompaniments and in his solo pieces'.
