Lovely, expressive. You have a wonderful lyrical sound, and impressive dynamic control so vital for the underlay of phrases and emphases in English poetic settings -- more challenging than Italian or French, say. If you haven't chosen it yet, I hope you will turn your attention to Barber's "Knoxville Summer of 1915.". I think you have the perfect sound for it, and also the sensitivity with English to do something really special with it. Congratulations on a fine recital set, and best of luck going forward!
