| |  | Convivencia
| | Medieval music from Andalusia |
Catherine Bott (soprano), David Miller, Abdul Salam Kheir Stephen Henderson “The debut release of Fred Music, Convivencia has all the frontal, immediate sound of pop music, though rendered by engineers with a level of understanding of classical acoustic instruments rarely found in the pop world… The real beneficiary in this approach, however is Bott herself…Sensual and smooth on the surface, her vocalism also digs into the text with a rare commitment worthy of spoken theatre. Rather than merely singing a few old songs, she brings an entire medieval world to life…there should be a better word for this project than crossover …Convivencia…is a well conceived package that borrows the best of both.” Ken Smith (Gramophone) | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Monckton - Songs from the showsA programme of songs—romantic, swashbuckling, plain silly—from shows staged during the glory days
of the Gaiety, Shaftesbury, Daly’s and Adelphi Theatres
Catherine Bott (soprano) & Richard Suart (baritone) New London Orchestra & New London Light Opera Chorus, Ronald Corp Lionel Monckton was among the very finest British melodists, ranking as such with the likes of Arthur Sullivan, Eric
Coates and Ivor Novello. His music encapsulates the gaiety of the Edwardian age, and it is our great loss that we hear
so little of it these days. This new recording, with the New London Orchestra under Ronald Corp (a major authority on
this music), is the perfect introduction to his charming songs and features soloists Catherine Bott and Richard Suart.
Catherine Bott brings her sumptuous voice, cut-glass diction and delightful gifts of characterisation to the service of
these songs. Formerly better-known as an early music specialist, her cabaret entertainment London Pride (Hyperion
CDA67457) proved her to be an ideal performer of Monckton’s music. Richard Suart is the master of the patter song and
simply one of the greatest G&S interpreters in the world. “It is hard for modern, classically trained singers to hit off the vaudevillian timing, playing with the rhythms; nevertheless both Bott and Suart demonstrate a natural aptitude for the material. Ronald Corp conducts the New London Orchestra and Light Opera Chorus with obvious affection. Listening to this CD made me feel ridiculously happy. ” Gramophone Magazine, June 2008 “Conductor Ronald Corp knows exactly how this music should go and gives it plenty of verve and dash. Richard Suart brings his Savoyard experience to bear on the words and tells you every number. Catherine Bott, unfortunately, lacks this sense of showbiz and her voice sounds too mature.” BBC Music Magazine, May 2008 **** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

Sir John Gielgud (narrator) & Catherine Bott (soprano) Academy of St Martin in the Fields, Sir Neville Marriner "Walton’s score for Hamlet offers some 40 minutes of music, a rich and colourful suite, superbly played and
recorded, and much enhanced by the contribution of Sir John Gielgud in two of Hamlet’s soliloquies, ‘O that this
too, too solid flesh’ and ‘To be or not to be’." Penguin Guide | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
