There is much to enjoy here...Every note is delivered with white-hot sincerity in Coote’s rich-toned voice...Drake’s piano similarly glows; he draws an exquisite sound from the instrument, the playing consistently elegant and restrained, with rare moments of prominence.

Coote has a rounded, slightly covered timbre that acquires a glint on high notes and at forte. Her sound also has some tang and graininess to it—you will immediately know if those qualities add or detract from her appeal. To me, every element when put together becomes beautiful.

Coote and Drake shine, as distinctively, and sometimes as challengingly, as ever.
