Grace Davidson (Soprano)
Grace Davidson (Soprano)
Light, bright, agile and pure are all words that have been used to describe Grace Davidson’s voice. Yet beneath the gleaming surface of her crystalline sound and pinpoint technical accuracy lie rich reserves of emotional intelligence and expressive artistry. The British soprano’s vocal and intuitive armoury enable her to project the vivid contrasts of mood at the heart of her favourite medieval, Renaissance and Baroque repertoire with near-divine ease, especially so in the works of Hildegard von Bingen, Monteverdi, J.S. Bach, Handel and Vivaldi.
Her discography includes over a decade of recordings, many of which feature her as a soloist, as well as solo discs with music by Hildegard von Bingen and John Dowland. Grace has also forged fruitful relationships with many contemporary and film composers such as Joe Hisaishi, Harry Gregson Williams, Hanz Zimmer, Howard Shore and Eric Whitacre, but most notably Max Richter who chose her as the solo voice in his 8-hour piece Sleep which has been performed all over the world, including Sydney Opera House and The Great Wall of China.
