Vaughan Williams / Quilter / Britten / Operababes - Operababes: Silent Noon - Music CD

In 2001, two opera singers were discovered busking in London's Covent Garden and almost overnight were thrust into the global media spotlight, releasing two albums, achieving No. 1 chart positions across the world and becoming an international phenomenon. OperaBabes (Rebecca Knight and Karen England) went on to perform for HRH Queen Elizabeth II and in concert with leading orchestras around the world. Taking America by storm, they performed with Placido Domingo at the Los Angeles Opera and made history by becoming the first classical act ever to perform in Las Vegas, headlining at the legendary Stardust Casino. With a new relationship with Warner Classics, they now present their third album, 'Silent Noon.' This album is a collection of British songs, simply accompanied by piano. Featuring beloved pieces by Vaughan Williams, Britten, Quilter, Purcell, and many others, the album is sure to delight lovers of beautiful singing and the tradition of the art song.
