★★★★☆ …Emily Owen and Jenni Harper sail through Strozzi’s highly expressive extravaganzas with refreshing ease and directness. thetimes.com/culture/classic…

Last chance today to vote for our album in the BBC music magazine awards. If you're into sensational singing and don't mind a bit of twanging to go with it, please consider giving it a vote. You could rekindle my faith in the british electorate!
NOMINEE SPOTLIGHT: Mezzo-soprano Helen Charlston shone on ‘Battle Cry’, which highlighted Baroque heroines and tragediennes like Boudica, Ariadne and Dido, with gloriously expressive performances. #BBCMMAwards #VocalAward @delphianrecords; @helencharlston bit.ly/3WF0Rqm
