Echo: Ruby Hughes and Huw Watkins

(Part of the Lake District Music Summer Festival)

Performed by Ruby Hughes (Soprano) & Huw Watkins (Piano)

Bach Sarabande from Partita No.4
Purcell By Beautious softness arr. Ades
Purcell Music for a while arr. Tippett
Britten Folk Song arrangements
Huw Watkins Echo
Britten Charm of Lullaby's
Errolyn Wallen movements from The Errloyn Wallen Songbook

Huw Watkins' song cycle Echo, composed for Ruby Hughes is at the centre of this beautifully crafted recital. Setting texts by five different poets, the cycle is a work centred on melancholy - on transience, remembrance, and in the final song a numbed cry of inconceivable loss. Works by Master of the King's Music, Errolyn Wallen, Britten and others showcase Ruby's captivating capacity for communication and connection.
