New release with mezzo soprano Sharon Carty

Schubert’s Four Seasons - This new disc is a journey through the year, with a pair of songs illustrating each season.

"One more notable feature of this disc is the rapport that exists between singer and pianist. There is a chemistry between them which allows each piece to develop with what appears to be a natural progression, there is nothing learned or superficial, rather they are responding sympathetically to each other’s strengths.

All in all, this is a fine CD. It is imaginative and well-executed, and successfully brings together a compilation of Schubert’s lieder which will delight the listener."

Jonathan Ware’s playing is keen and incisive, characterful and transparent by turns…This is a recording to spend time with, and repays repeated listening…. Gathering together a remarkable programme, and performing it with style and sensitivity, Sharon Carty and Jonathan Ware create something very special. Intriguing, thought-provoking – and timely.
