The art of vocal duetting is exemplified at its best in this recital by two of today’s finest British singers, working with an accompanist of equal merit…each singer has solo items…Yet the most memorable tracks are inevitably the duets, with Joseph Middleton’s striking playing reminding us how essential pianism is to such enterprises.

Carolyn Sampson and Iestyn Davies make a symbiotic partnership in these assorted duets, their tone (not least their control of vibrato) and style ideally matched. They are compelling interpreters, too, with an infectious sense of shared enjoyment...Here is a captivating, unhackneyed programme, presented by singers – a double act in a thousand – and pianist with a style and allure it would be hard to beat.

Sampson’s and Davies’s voices blend perfectly, and they sing Britten’s realisations of Sound the Trumpet and Lost Is My Quiet stylishly, but the fleeter Mendelssohn numbers are the real delight...Sheer delight.

Carolyn Sampson’s soprano sparkles and Iestyn Davies’s countertenor glides through the air in this compilation, individually and in duet. They sing together with an enjoyment of the music’s ebb and flow that is clearly shared by their pianist, Joseph Middleton...what’s on offer here is beautifully judged, the two voices playing off each other and sharing nuanced expression
