Come to Me in My Dreams/ Various - Come to Me in My Dreams

Dame Sarah Connolly's exceptional nocturnally inspired recital spans over 120 years of British song from Stanford to Turnage, and includes world premieres of two songs by Benjamin Britten. Marking Sarah Connolly's Proms recital debut, the centenary of Sir Hubert Parry's death, and British composers in general, who studied or taught at the Royal College of Music, this album is an astonishing collection not to be missed. Dame Sarah Patricia Connolly DBE (born 13 June 1963) is an English mezzo-soprano. Although best known for her baroque and classical roles, Connolly has a wide-ranging repertoire which has included works by Wagner as well as various 20th-century composers. She was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2010 New Year Honors and Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in the 2017 Birthday Honors for services to music.
