Since winning the 2021 Song Prize at the Cardiff Singer of the World competition, South African Masabane Cecilia has been selected as a BBC New Generation Artist, and in 2024 was awarded the Herbert von Karajan prize. She is in demand with the world’s major orchestras, opera houses and conductors. This, her debut album, showcases her extraordinary voice and versatility. It includes music from her homeland, gospels and spirituals, lieder and chanson, and two operatic favourites. The Sound of Music and my Fair lady provide two favourite numbers, and ‘Summertime’ from Porgy & Bess is spine tinglingly beautiful.
