Continuing the series of programmes featuring recordings by the
BBC's starry line-up of New Generation Artists. As part of the BBC's
commitment to developing and nurturing young talent, the NGA
scheme was launched in the autumn of 1999. Now well into its
second decade, the scheme has already acquired the reputation
of being a world leader for young artists.
Today a chance to hear British mezzo Jennifer Johnston in a
performance of one of Elgar's greatest works, the Sea Pictures,
op 37. Presented by Clemency Burton-Hill.
Elgar: Sea Pictures, op 37
Jennifer Johnston, mezzo-soprano
BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra
Martyn Brabbins, conductor
丁寧で好感のもてる歌唱。僅かに一本調子なところはあるものの、このままディスクにしても通用しそう。真夏の宵に聴くエルガーの歌曲集は格別の味わいだ。
