Sally Matthews

Monday 12 May

After her sensational Festival debut in Mozart's C Minor Mass in 2006 we are delighted to welcome back Sally Matthews, one of the finest sopranos of her generation, to the magnificent surroundings of Highclere Castle.

Nothing in music communicates so directly as a song recital. Sally Matthews has created a wonderfully imaginative programme featuring love songs by Dvorak, Barber, Poulenc and Strauss. The combination of clarinet and voice can be enjoyed in Schubert's mellifluous and melodious masterpiece Shepherd on the Rock, where clarinet and vocal line intertwine to glorious effect.

Highclere Castle, Newbury
