Soprano Ruby Hughes, celebrated for the profound “understanding and stylishness” (Gramophone) she brings to her artistry, has a distinguished discography of recitals showcasing the exquisite beauty of her voice. She is particularly known for her carefully curated programmes that weave together works from diverse eras. In Amidst the Shades, Hughes reunites with gambist Mime Yamahiro Brinkmann and lutenist Jonas Nordberg – the same inspiring sonic constellation that contributed to the success of Heroines of Love and Loss (BIS2248).

This new recital explores their shared passion for Elizabethan music, which served as the catalyst for the programme’s creation. The contemplative and melancholic songs of John Dowland form the foundation, leading to works by Robert Johnson and John Danyel, interwoven with Purcell’s intimate vocal pieces. Seeking to further enrich the repertoire for lute and voice, Hughes commissioned new works from Errollyn Wallen and Deborah Pritchard, setting texts by William Shakespeare. She also obtained permission from Cheryl Frances-Hoad to arrange one of her existing compositions for this unique ensemble.

Amidst the Shades promises a recital brimming with nuanced expression and delicate sonic colours.
