Handel, G F - As steals the morn - Padmore, Mark (tenor)

ÅRETS BÄSTA 2007 I SYDSVENSKAN

GRAMOPHONE EDITOR'S CHOICE

'This represents a quantum leap forward for Mark Padmore, who now seems to be firmly in the line of Anthony Rolfe-Johnson and John Mark Ainsley among leading English lyric tenors. Like those colleagues, the voice is not only beautiful (gorgeous, honeyed tones) but pliable. He can achieve the most amazing effects, but never shows off. A heartfelt disc.'
(Gramophone)
