“In Music Is Such Art” with Harriet Burns, Mark Padmore & Ian Tindale

“Mark Padmore, a singer celebrated for his intelligent performances, superb diction, and ethereally pure voice, here surpasses even himself…he responds to the cycle’s world of dreams and anguish with a delicate objectivity which is captivating. ” (Classic FM)
