Review Centre: Singers (Classical)

"Last evening I had perhaps the most enjoyable hour I have spent for many months - if not years (sad person! ) - listening to and enjoying the singing of Rachel. The range, intonation, power and versatility of her voice are only matched by the variety of her songs - all superb and much-loved songs from many contrasting genre. I don't know what she was paid for last night, but it's frankly irrelevant, as she is priceless. "

"Rachel was a dream! She performed at our wedding in July at Eastwell Manor and turned up exquisitely dressed. Our wedding was black tie and she fitted in perfectly! She performed before, during and after our wedding breakfast and was a complete hit. She sung all of our favourite songs beautifully and got the crowd up and dancing at all the right points. She even got another singer from the crowd to sing with her which was a major highlight from the day! I’ve seen Rachel perform many times now and would always recommend her 100% and will only go to her for any entertainment. She is utterly wonderful!"

"I write with regard to Mr Vasili Karpiak and am very pleased to confirm that he was employed to perform at our Annual Gala Concert held here at the National Liberal Club 8 th August 2014. We were introduced to Mr Karpiak, through the Honourable Society of the Knights of the Round Table who had given him an Award and of which our Chairman is a member.Each year since 2011 we have arranged a Summer Gala Concert and Dinner in August, featuring a range of professional musicians. This black tie gala event is an important part of the social calendar of the club, attracting many members and their guests each year. Mr Karpiak’s performance was particularly well received and he had put together, at our request, a varied selection of arias from Italian opera. Based on his splendid performance of two 45 minute sections, he clearly has a wonderful talent and a great future ahead of him. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mr Karpiak to anyone who is looking to employ the services of such a young tenor and we wish him well in his future career in this very competitive industry."

"We booked Singing with Strings for the reopening of our Inn to provide a relaxing live music act for guests over a lunchtime / early evening event. Sophia was bright and engaging, arriving well in advance of her booking allowing us plenty of time to brief her and allow her to set up. Her setlist was varied and added just the atmosphere we were hoping for. I would recommend Sophia without hesitation and fully intend to book her again for further events."

"This man is wonderful. He still has all my guests asking about him and complimenting him also. Neil attended our wedding blessing which was full of emotion and played our songs and sang a love story. He was above and beyond what we expected. Every note was a dream, every word sang was said with the feeling it was written. Neil looked handsome as and his presence had people turning heads. If you like old time Sinatra, Dean Martin etc right upto Take That...this is your man. He will definitely turn heads and make your night/occasion. Book him and dont hesitate!"

"I booked Lucinda for a surprise 60th wedding anniversary gift for two opera connoisseurs at their home. I didn’t know if it would work but I had faith in Lucinda from the outset. Not only does she have an impressive CV and extensive plaudits, she is so professional. Firstly, Lucinda is very passionate - it shows in her superlative organisation, she sought a clear brief and was extremely responsive with communication throughout the booking (which she accepted and confirmed within 2 hours. For Lucinda the ‘customer is king’ insofar as she is very client-focused, openly explained the logistics from her self-sufficiency with audio technology & choice of arias for the performance, and the right presentation and make up for the event. Everything with Lucinda was seamless, engendering my utter trust in her competence and ability. The recipients of this surprise were cagily forewarned by me of a ‘delivery’ which may cause a temporary noise disruption for neighbours. The rest (they say) is history - metaphorically Lucinda’s performance brought the house down! My friends loved their surprise gift, the neighbours enjoyed it too, and apparently a passer-by in a car was so mesmerised he ‘followed the music’ like a Homeric sailor following the song a siren, and invited to stay for the rest of Lucinda’s set. He too was very impressed. Nor did Lucinda dash away after performing, rather she stayed and swapped stories with the happy couple of the opera world. Thank you Lucinda for translating my moment of inspiration (and mischievousness 😉) to life for two very dear friends on their 60th wedding anniversary. 🙏🏽 As lifelong opera fans with experience on the global opera circuit they don’t hand out praise liberally when it comes to opera singers but said “Lucinda’s performance was great”, that she is “extremely talented” and that they and their neighbours were “utterly delighted” by her. It is an understatement to say this was a job well done. Lucinda has given my friends a personalised performance and a marvellous memory of a lifetime together, with her operatic songlist. In achieving the desired note, Lucinda delivered drama, hope, and passion - the stuff of their life together. In doing so she delivered a top quality performance that was well beyond good value - it is priceless. I cannot recommend Lucinda more highly - she has trained in the most prestigious academies, and it shows. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and anyone who does can be confident of an outstanding outcome. "
