She is a singer of controlled power across her full range (revelling in the low alto notes), precise intonation, and a very individual tone with light vibrato. She responded beautifully to the bracing tempi Cullen set early on and later delivered a reading of He Was Despised to remember for a long time.” The Herald, 4th January 2005 “Polly May’s powerful tones were warm and heartening” “The musky, warm mezzo-soprano of Polly May, and the robust piano-playing of Lucy Walker . . . are well-suited to this earthy repertoire; and their fearless performances are enhanced by a resonant recording acoustic. . . there is much to enjoy in this fresh and courageous venture.” “. . . a richly inviting voice . . . this singer is clearly on the cusp of a brilliant career, the give-away emanates from her attention to detail.” |
