Frequently singled out for her phenomenal vocals Scottish mezzo-soprano Karen Cargill brings her exemplary range of vocal colours and rich emotional expression to bear in her debut solo recital.
#7 Top 50 Scottish Albums of 2014: 'Scotland's opera superstar mines incredible depth of emotion from these songs.' Alan Morrison, The Herald
Critics' Choice 'Highlight of 2014' Kate Molleson, The Herald
'Cargill is extraordinary in her control over the scope of these songs... A superb job from a singer who is getting her due.' AllMusic.com
'Karen Cargill, warm, instinctive and golden-voiced, and Simon Lepper are responsive partners here.' The Guardian
Seldom paired, the well-known Gustav Mahler lieder follow five of wife Alma's lesser-known, but equally engaging, songs. These personal and highly romantic songs are perfectly complemented by Cargill's poetic sensitivity; her warm and vibrant voice, with the emotional insight borne of opera, is breathtakingly beautiful. Simon Lepper accompanies with sensitivity and flair; an award-winning pianist specialising in vocal accompanying, Lepper is a regular recital partner of Cargill's.
