Last Rose of Summer, The - Murray, Ann (mezzo-soprano)
...Not in the profoundest Schubert, the most exquisite Fauré, has either of them performed with more delicacy and refinement, more tenderness, humour, and...passion, than they do here...
(Gramophone)
...A delightful and diverse selection...
...strangely haunting...
