70 m. ago Hugh Cutting: Refound album review – an idiosyncratic and profoundly satisfying collection

(Linn)The Kathleen Ferrier award-winning countertenor’s debut recital album showcases his warm tone and effortless musical line – and his originalityIn 2021 Hugh Cutting was the first countertenor to win the Kathleen Ferrier award. Since then, he’s been consistently admired for his warm tone, effortless musical line and theatrical originality. His debut recital album continues that trend, but don’t expect the usual lineup of Handel arias or Dowland lute songs. On Refound, a collection of art songs with reinvention at its heart, his choices are eclectic, idiosyncratic even, but also profoundly satisfying.Connections and parallels abound. Ravel’s reworkings of Greek folk song pair with Vaughan Williams’ Linden Lea, Dvořák’s Biblical Songs mirror Howells’ medieval carol setting, Come Sing and Dance. It’s Cutting’s plush yet flexible voice, however, that ties it all together. His handling of text, a willingness to go deep, and an impeccable musical sensitivity illuminate each song, from...

3 h. ago ‘Some of the best facelifts money can buy!’ The madness and millionaires of Frieze art fair – review

Frieze London and Frieze MastersBeautiful, stupid, pompous and ridiculous, the art extravaganza has stunning works – and stunning price tags. Our writer revels in its avaricious, champagne-drenched excesses. Will he leave wearing a suit of Greek armour?On the face of things, Frieze is pretty awful. It represents the art world at its most brazenly commercial, its most avaricious and capitalistic. This is the market laid bare, with all of its champagne, ludicrous outfits and obscene excess on brazen display for anyone willing to fork out a wodge on a ticket.
