As her voice has a pure quality, from the first,
Sally's career gravitated towards Baroque
music and she has been associated with most leading baroque groups. She
has sung with London Baroque, The Parley of Instruments, Opera Restor'd,
The Monteverdi Choir, Chiaroscuro, Les Musiciens du Louvre, Tafelmusik,
Les Saqueboutiers de Toulouse and many other groups. She was a founder
member of the original Accademia Arcadiana with Nicholas McGegan with whom she
performed many times. Her recording of Handel's Agrippina for
Harmonia Mundi records with McGegan was chosen as Sunday Times
Record of the Year and Opera Now! Record of the Month. She
recorded the role for the Gottingen Festival production.
With the same conductor she has performed Dorinda in Handel's Orlando
in St Louis, USA, Oriane in Lully's Amadis for BBC Radio 3 and
three French Opera Comique roles by Philidor: Mrs Honour in Tom Jones;
Victoire in Le Jardinier et son Seigneur; and Claudine in Le
Marechal Ferrant.
Sally has starred in baroque operas in Germany, notably in
Handel's Alcina at the Hallé
and Berlin Potsdam festivals, and has made more than 20
appearances in Austria in opera, concerts and recordings, including a
live broadcast of Hasse's Piramo e Tisbe from the Musikverein,
Vienna, the live recording of the world premiere of Cesti's Il
Pomodoro at the Hofburg, Vienna, and the premiere of Scarlatti's Gli
Equivoci nel Sembiante for the Innsbruck Festival.
She has sung in concerts and recordings for the International
Haydn Festival at Eisenstadt.
With Marc Minkowski she sang Maddalena in Handel's Resurrezione
at the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, and roles in L'Europe Galante by
Campra at the Aix-en-Provence and Beaune Festivals. |
