Elizabeth Bainbridge who passed away in December 2024 at the age of 94, was an esteemed regular of the lyric stages in Britain and a specialist in English music. Among her discography, unfortunately quite short, is this recording of Vaughan Williams’ Tudor Portraits on satirical texts by Renaissance poet John Skelton. Don’t miss her hilarious depiction of dishonest bartender Elynour Rummyng, whose appalling beverages you definitely want to avoid!
