…the quality of the three ladies, Caroline MacPhie, Heather Newhouse and Dorothea Spilger, who bring grace and intelligence to the vocal line and the text.

Three committed and accomplished soloists – Caroline MacPhie, Damien Thantrey and Rupert Enticknap – move like priests or mentors among us, reciting and reflecting.

…as Susanna, Caroline MacPhie reveals a clear soprano and excellent enunciation in a performance that proves to be just as sharp as the character.

Caroline MacPhie’s lyrical performance was delightfully seductive.

Caroline MacPhie portrays a mischievous Barbara with clear high notes…

But my personal favourite was the Lancashire-born Caroline MacPhie. Her light-lyric instrument was clean-toned and perfectly tuned, and she delivered an enterprisingly original programme… with flair, style and musical imagination.

Her bright, light lyrical soprano voice… also has dramatic bite. The performance is imaginative and eloquent…

…Caroline MacPhie, Rupert Enticknap and Damian Thantrey, all excellent.

MacPhie radiated joy and ecstasy…

MacPhie sings with haunting sensitivity and emotional engagement… This lovely disc marks the arrival of a fine young recitalist.
