Helen Charlston mezzo-soprano; Sholto Kynoch piano

Former BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist and winner of the Ferrier Loveday Song Prize at the 2021 Kathleen Ferrier Awards, Helen Charlston has secured a gilt-edged reputation for her interpretations of Baroque and Early Music. The rich-toned mezzo is equally at home in German Lieder, French mélodie and the music of today. ‘She can give life to a line like few others; her diction is marvellous, and marvellously varied; everything flows with incomparable beauty,’ notes Gramophone.
