Evelyn Tubb soprano Michael Fields lutes and guitars

Evelyn and Michael have achieved an empathy with each other, their music and audiences which has found followers around the world. Critics have lauded Evelyn as ‘one of the few truly outstanding sopranos of her generation’ and praised ‘the absolute affinity between voice and instrument’ achieved by the duo. Evelyn rejuvenates recital giving, moving with authentic conviction from troubadour songs to romantic lieder, reminding her audiences that singing is a timeless enchantment.

‘Evelyn Tubb’s singing was not just moving - it was devastating. To bring this power to music is not a matter of technique alone - only by giving something precious of oneself can a performer so move the audience to tears. Commitment of this order is rare and priceless.’ The Courier, Tunbridge Wells

‘Tubb is a magnificent interpreter - Fields’ lute playing accompanied her voice with a precision and harmony rarely found between singer and accompanist.’ L’Arena, Verona
