Martyna: Oh Butterfly

Read "Oh Butterfly" reviewed by Bruce Lindsay

It's important not to give ...

Stacey Kent: Breakfast On The Morning Tram

Read "Breakfast On The Morning Tram" reviewed by Andrew Velez


Having previously demonstrated a knowing way with sets from the Great American Songbook and a special bent for Brazilian-flavored melodies, vocalist Stacey Kent takes on a different sort of mix here.

Stacey Kent: The Boy Next Door

Read "The Boy Next Door" reviewed by Jeff Stockton
