There was \u2018unalloyed pleasure\u2019 to be found in this collection charting the complete songs of the Boulanger sisters, two composers whose output was brief but striking. Mezzo-soprano Lucile Richardot took on the lion\u2019s share of the programme, accompanied with great flair by pianisr Anne de Fornel.<\/p>

Polish countertenor Jakub J\u00f3zef Orli\u0144ski brought his now-trademark charm and energy to this thoughtfully curated programme of songs, cantatas and opera extracts, many by lesser-known Baroque composers. Orli\u0144ski\u2019s voice \u2018pours out like liquid honey,\u2019 according to our original review, while Il Pomo d\u2019Oro provided a rich accompaniment.<\/p>

\u2018Varied, accomplished and profoundly heartfelt\u2019 was how our original review described this album from American soprano Julia Bullock. As talented a curator as she is a performer, Bullock assembled an enticing programme for this, delivering a \u2018blazing\u2019 rendition of John Adams\u2019s aria \u2018Memorial de Tlatelolco\u2019 and a pair of Nina Simone classics.<\/p>
