Long Time Ago

Awards:

Much of it is beautifully done. Charvet has a warm, appealing mezzo, with a tangy lower register and fine dynamic control at the top. She’s at her best in jazz-inflected or declamatory numbers...Manoff,...

February 2020

Much of it is beautifully done. Charvet has a warm, appealing mezzo, with a tangy lower register and fine dynamic control at the top. She’s at her best in jazz-inflected or declamatory numbers...Manoff, as one might expect, is consistently stylish and wonderfully insightful throughout.

November 2019

This exuberant, engaging programme of American and English song from the fresh-voiced French mezzo is a delight from start to finish: she brings sassiness in spades to Bolcom’s gleefully narcissistic Amor, and great emotional depth to the two darker numbers from Britten’s Cabaret Songs (the low Fs and high C of Johnny posing no problems). Manoff, more commonly associated with French repertoire, has a whale of a time vamping it up in Roven’s Listening to Jazz and Dring’s Song of a Nightclub Proprietress.
