PHILIPPA MURRAY (soprano)
PHILIPPA MURRAY
Reviews
Zachary Devin and Phillipa Murray were superb as Hugh and Mary, both singing in the strong, impassioned but unshowy way that Vaughan Williams would have wanted.David Chandler, Opera Today
It was one of the finest soprano song recitals I have heard for a long time...One difficulty I usually experience in listening to a soprano is that, however beautiful the sound, I find it difficult to hear all the words. With Philippa Murray, I could hear every word with exceptional clarity and excellent diction, but the tonal qualities of her voice remained beautiful, even more so at the extremities of her range. When she sang high and loud, if anything her voice was even more engaging: where so often with other singers the voice sounds strained. When she sang softly there was no loss of clarity or tone. She was so expressive too. Her dramatising of each song’s words added to the enjoyment of what she was communicating, as she matched this with an expressiveness of mood and meaning in her voice....it was very fine singing.
