"A major presence in this starry company is the young composer Alex Woolf, whose Three Tempestuous Tunes strike out in many musical and dramatic directions in a matter of seconds, allowing the Shakespearean characters of his choice to address the listener with first-person immediacy."
- Gramophone
"... Spence has the true singer’s gift of communication, without which these works would just be pretty but dull sounds ... with the help of some superb accompanying from Malcolm Martineau, he brings them alive with joy, pain, love, despair and wit."
- Sinfini Music
Internationally celebrated tenor Nicky Spence and pianist Malcolm Martineau present this 2013 recital album; a musical journey of Shakespeare songs by a diverse and eclectic range of composers ranging from Purcell and Haydn through to Britten, Quilter, Tippett and John Dankworth, via Chausson and Schubert. The album showcases the versatility of Spence's voice and abilities from Romantic lieder to jazz-inspired works, all superbly accompanied by acclaimed pianist Martineau. Also included here is the world premiere recording of Three Tempestuous Tunes by young composer Alex Woolf.
