Emma-Lisa Roux

Self Accompanied Dowland Songs

 Self Accompanied Dowland Songs
This wonderfully gifted young singer and player does effortlessly what others struggle at - giving wonderful performances of Dowland ayres self-accompanied.

A critic said: 'A duo formed by a single person: the young Emma-Lisa Roux, who sings while accompanying herself on the lute. It's a difficult exercise – because it's not a question of brushing out chords but of performing a polyphonic part embellished with a few 'passaggi' while ensuring the vocal part is one that is perfectly mastered by the artist. Her precise elocution, her clear timbre that grew warmer as the performance progressed, her friendly presence and her musicality literally enchanted the audience.'
