“An excellent choice of songs, the power of his voice and his convincing facial expressions made him a first class experience for the listener”  (Schwerin Summer Festival)
“His singing and acting were outstanding” (a dramatized version of Lieder)
“The best performance of the night” (Review of a modern comic opera)
Who is this? Why, none other than our former baritone, Nicholas Mogg

Between his activities at Staatsoper, Hamburg, he and his first-class Welsh pianist, Jams Colman, have had time to record their first Lieder CD.  You can hear them on Champs Hill Records. The songs are all by Karl Loewe, who was a baritone in Schubert’s day, who you could say wrote his own stuff, so to speak. It includes a party piece of Nick’s – he sang it at my 80^th – “Tom der Reimer” where Tom is carried off by the Queen of the elves on her white horse, with silver bells tinkling on her harness.  “I won’t allow anyone but Jams to tinkle his bells!” says Nick. Quite right too! Enjoy!
