TEYTE, Maggie: Vocal Portrait (A) (1932-1948)

Maggie Teyte’s voice was renowned for its marked purity and perfect placement of tone. Her considerable spontaneity of presence, together with her strong and vivid intuitive skills as an interpreter and great care for diction, ensured her preeminence as an artist of international renown. Bringing together many different recordings, made at varying places and times, this wide-ranging and unrivalled programme displays the full range of Maggie Teyte’s art, from the operas of Purcell and Pergolesi, to French operetta, and above all, the music of her teachers and contemporaries, Debussy, Hahn and Ravel.
