The performance from Christopher Lemmings, widely admired in so many modern operas, has total authority and conviction.
Peter Dickinson Gramophone November 2006
It is the later set of seven Auden Songs, finished in 1989, that seems the more coherent achievement here, containing a couple of settings of deep, searching intensity; to which tenor Christopher lemmings gives full weight.
Andrew Clements The Guardian March 31st 2006
(The cycle) for solo voice and piano trio, by composer Ned Rorem display a sensitive response to words and thrilling vocal lines which mesh perfectly with the inner meaning of the poetry. The seven songs are given impassioned treatment by tenor Christopher Lemmings.
Gavin Engelbrecht The Northern Echo May 11th 2006
Christopher Lemmings’ voice is light and clear, with superb diction.
