A potent account of Turnage's keen melodrama Twice Through the Heart. Stephanie Marshall, a Canadian mezzo at the Academy, has a voice of individual and poignant timbre.

Her sound flowed freely, strongly, passionately, and purely. Her conception and embodiment of Turnage's dramatic sequence - eyes expressive, moves and stations eloquent while she sang the words - was stirring.

She's a singer who stirred me, one I look forward to hearing again.
