Recital for the Chancery Bar Association Recital Series,
with Elizabeth Burgess, harpsichord - January 2011
www.andreslandino.com
“We were treated to a delightful series of small-scale Baroque and classical gems in an intimate setting. Some of the pieces were from the lesser-known but seriously under-rated English composers Pelham Humfrey and John Blow. All of them were new to me until the encore, a ravishing short aria from Handel’s Semele. Elizabeth Burgess and Nicola Corbishley were individually excellent and perfectly matched for the performance of the reflective domestic scale (as opposed to concert hall) pieces, and the bright, clear acoustic of Lincoln’s Inn Chapel meant that every word and nuance could be clearly heard and enjoyed.”

“Nicola Corbishley is a very talented singer and the wide stage of the venue gave her ample opportunity not just to sing for us but act out her part. The large and enthusiastic audience was a rightful indication of how much a concert of such high calibre was appreciated in the Fringe programme.” Edinburghguide.com

Handel Semele, Edinburgh Festival Fringe - August 2007

"The cast gave the oratorio a new lease of life with fabulous costumes and excellent acting, while maintaining the poise and refinement music of the period demands. A sense of rapport with the audience was helped very much by the intimacy of the venue. Some fantastic performances were given, most notably by Nicola Corbishley, who sang the role of Semele with a light yet warm tone and who performed her coloratura moments with impeccable control."

"Baroque music lovers book your ticket now. The performance was full of fun and excitement - and it was in English. (...) this was also great theatre: highly comic, stylishly produced and well acted. Opera newbies will enjoy the purity of the baroque voices, the daft plot, and the hilarious audience interaction." ThreeWeeks.com

"In the smaller roles, Nicola Corbishley (as the 2nd woman) came off best, several people in the audience looking up suddenly from their programmes the moment she began to sing."
