About
Wybrew began as students at the Royal College of Music and this, their debut release on Wigmore Hall Live, captures
her beguiling artistry and astonishing vocal gifts.
A recital to commemorate the anniversary of the beginning of the First World War, Songs of Vain Glory draws from a wider range of songs in English depicting the excitement, disillusionment and peace of those who must leave to fight and the love, fear and loss of those left behind. From the timeless, astral perspective of Finzi's 'At a lunar eclipse' to the oceanic depths of Elgar's 'Submarines' and the cosy evergreen 'We'll gather lilacs'.
Recorded live at Wigmore Hall, London, on 14 December 2014
Reviews
Ivor Novello’s We’ll Gather Lilacs and Haydn Wood’s Roses of Picardy sound poignantly lovely, thanks to Bevan’s bright but soft-edged soprano and Wybrew’s understated decoration. The recording captures the rapt attention of the audience in the hall. Erica JealError on this page? Let us know here
