Audio
Lesley-Jane's wide-ranging vocal skills are reflected in the variety of concert work and recordings she undertakes. The following audio selection aims to show some of these different qualities: her full, lyric voice can be heard in the Strauss songs, whilst her agility and spontaneous baroque ornamentation can be found in the Pepusch cantata. The Fauré 'Requiem' demonstrates a "standard repertory" piece, whilst the Finnissy shows the ease with which Lesley-Jane navigates acrobatic vocal leaps and complex rhythms. Hopefully, Bliss's 'The Buckle' will bring a wry smile to your face - a testament to Lesley-Jane's characterisation ability.
