Robin Ticciati - Scottish Chamber Orchestra - Berlioz: Les nuits d'ete - The Independent

Cargill wraps her sumptuous voice around the curves of Berlioz's song cycle in a performance of extraordinary musical delicacy, poetic sensitivity and emotional range.

There's playfulness, desolation and yearning - some of it almost whispered into the listener's ear - accompanied by a period-inflected orchestral performance of ravishing transparency from the Scottish Chamber Orchestra under Robin Ticciati. Simply divine.
