Reviews

‘Robin Blaze's countertenor is ideal for these songs’ (The Daily Telegraph)

‘Robin Blaze … sings with an effortless ease and tonal beauty capable of delighting in lighter songs, but also affecting the heart in a more intense utterance such as 'The cypress curtain of the night', one of Campion's greatest songs’ (Goldberg)
