This characterful trio of Shakespeare settings draws together popular texts from Twelfth Night, Much Ado About Nothing, and the sonnets into a charming and playful concert work. The witty ‘O mistress mine’ has a lilting, bluesy feel, while ‘Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?’ is highly evocative of its titular season. Finally, the waltz-like ‘Sigh no more, ladies’, complete with sweeping string gestures and a delightful ‘hey nonny, nonny’ refrain, brings the set to a high-spirited conclusion.
