LISA MILNE soprano TIM HORTON piano

Songs by PURCELL (arr. BRITTEN and TIPPETT), SCHUMANN, STRAUSS, DEBUSSY, POULENC, MACMILLAN and QUILTER

Lisa Milne was born in Aberdeen, where she still lives. She has performed major roles at opera houses around the world, including the Metropolitan Opera, New York City, where she has sung Pamina and Susanna, as well as Scottish Opera and Glyndebourne. Equally at home as a recitalist and soloist, Lisa has worked with many distinguished conductors and has an extensive discography.

Her programme includes two powerful songs by Purcell, arranged by Britten and Tippett, ‘The Blessed Virgin’s Expostulation’ and ‘Mad Bess’, Debussy’s sensuous ‘Chanson de Bilitis’, three songs by her compatriot James Macmillan’s shattering ‘The Children’ and three Ophelia songs by Richard Strauss. Quilter’s When Soft Music Dies, set to words by Percy Bysshe Shelley complete Lisa’s wide-ranging and emotionally-charged recital.
