The works build to a tender and wistful romantic-comedy conclusion with pleasing strophic passages and a fine duet for two of the cast's best singers, soprano Alexandra Hutton and tenor Timothy Oliver. |
THE CANTERVILLE GHOST (Getty)
Oper Leipzig Pentatone (Having joined the cast at one weeks notice) Alexandra won critical acclaim for her portrayal of Virginia in this world premiere recording of Gordon Getty's The Canterville Ghost, recorded with Matthias Foremny and the Gewandhaus Orchester alongside the original cast from Oper Leipzig. |
[LIVE] HÄNSEL UND GRETEL (Humperdinck)
Rundfunk Sinfonieorchester Berlin Pentatone Alexandra made her debut with the Rundfunk Sinfonieorchester Berlin at the Berlin Philharmonie, appearing on this live-in-concert recording as the Taumännchen in Humperdinck's Hänsel und Gretel under the baton of Marek Janowski. |
The deliciously sweet voices of Alexandra Hutton and Annika Gerhards complete a cast that is finally close to the ideal. If you have not yet bought an end of year gift for your lyricomanes friends, this box with a very "Christmas" design will be an excellent choice. |
With muted strings the quartet for Ellen, Auntie and the Nieces which ends this scene is plainly a lullaby, though an oddball one. I always feel for the First Niece, asked to sing the closing ‘sleep’ pp on top D flat, so full marks to Alexandra Hutton for doing it so well. |
[LIVE] PETER GRIMES (Britten)
Aldeburgh Festival Signum Records Alexandra appears as the First Niece on the live-in-concert recording of Benjamin Britten's Peter Grimes from the Snape Maltings Concert Hall as part of the 2013 Aldeburgh Festival, led by Maestro Steuart Bedford. |

JENŮFA (Janacek)

PETER GRIMES on Aldeburgh Beach (Britten)
Aldebugh Festival ArtHouse Musik As part of the centenary celebrations of Benjamin Britten's birth in 2013, the Aldeburgh Festival staged an extraordinary 3 performances of one of his most celebrated works "Peter Grimes" on Aldeburgh Beach, where the opera was written and believed to be based. Directed by Tim Albury and starring Alan Oke and Giselle Allen, Alexandra appears at the First Niece, with pre-recorded orchestra accompaniment by the Britten-Pears Orchestra and conducted by one of Britten's most celebrated contemporaries, Steuart Bedford. |
Ellen Orford’s quartet with Auntie (Gaynor Keeble) and the nieces (Alexandra Hutton, Charmian Bedford) is one of the highlights, a testament to the singers of course, but also a reminder that this opera contains some of Britten’s most wildly accomplished writing. |
