Lesley-Jane’s wide-ranging vocal skills are reflected in the variety of concert work and recordings she undertakes. With several hundred YouTube items featuring Lesley-Jane, what to choose to put up here? !
So herewith a mixture of the most recent, plus some firmly-established favourites. The following selection aims to show some of her different qualities: her full, lyric voice can be heard in the Strauss songs, while her agility and spontaneous baroque ornamentation can be found in the Pepusch cantata. Fauré's Pie Jesu demonstrates a “standard repertory” piece, whilst the Berio Sequenza, a tour de force of extended vocal technique, exemplifies Lesley-Jane’s commitment to new music and her phenomenal vocal stamina. The beautiful Philip Wood Ave verum corpus shows Lesley-Jane singing unaccompanied, and finally, Bliss’s The Buckle will hopefully bring a wry smile to your face - a testament to Lesley-Jane’s characterisation ability.
