Love across the ages: Alicia Mallace-Goulbourne

Alicia Mallace-Goulbourne (soprano) and I take our vocal recital of love and loss to Poole! There’s songs across the ages from Purcell to Britten. I’ll also play a couple of movements from R Nathaniel Dett’s gorgeous Magnolia suite.

However sweet or sour your opinions on romance ... it's striking how these experiences run like a thread from past to present, common to a very wide range of people. And if you can't stand this topic in real life, I hope the music will speak to you.
