My goodness, what a gorgeous voice and a wonderful interpretation....Ms. Whatley is a fine actress, as well as an accomplished singer! Her father must be so proud to appear on stage with such a gifted daughter, and I’m glad she has a pianist who plays with such assurance and sensitivity. Beautiful!
Gorgeous and richly nuanced, too -- love the depth of this interpretation. Have always felt the sad final notes/lyric to be meant to carry ambiguity, and Kitty Whately offers a fine hint of that ... ❤ Thanks for this. Leeds Lieder and the Whately's too.
One of the finest, most deeply-considered performances of "The Seal Man" I've ever heard-and as a great-nephew of Rebecca Clarke and the owner of her rights, I hear lots of them! The play of faintly conflicting emotions towards the end is devastating. Elsewhere in this program is a near-perfect realization of Clarke's setting of Yeats's "Salley Gardens"-a deep dive into a piece that's easy to pass over much too lightly. For the most accurate, up-to-date information on Rebecca Clarke’s extraordinary life, career, and works, please see her official website, www.rebeccaclarkecomposer.com, where we've featured this video as an exemplary performance (on the "Video" page) and urged our followers to book the whole program (on the "Shop" page).
