Mark Padmore has for many years been internationally regarded not only as one of the most persuasive and enthralling song recitalists of our times, but also as a commanding presence on opera stages. The programme he and award-winning pianist and conductor Jocelyn Freeman have prepared specially for this festival embraces some of Beethoven and Schubert’s finest songs, centenary tributes to Fauré and Stanford, a focus on the early 20th-century impressionistic songs of Rebecca Clarke, and Britten’s entrancing ‘Winter Words’, a cycle of 8 songs set to poems by Thomas Hardy.

The superb British tenor Mark Padmore was a revelation; emotionally harrowing yet vocally beautiful.Schubert recital review, New York Times
