Coleridge-Taylor: Heart & Hereafter
Debut solo album | Orchid Classics, 2021
Elizabeth Llewellyn performs collected songs by the British composer, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, in her debut album with pianist and collaborator, Simon Lepper.
““…the peak of this recital, for me, came in…Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s 6 Sorrow Songs…These songs, which tremble with emotion, suffering and resilience, need an interpreter to whom both the words and music speak with directness and honesty. Llewellyn, is one such interpreter.”

Elgar: Caractacus
Solo soprano | Hyperion, 2018
Elizabeth Llewellyn performs the role of Eigen in this recording with Orchestra of Opera North and the Huddersfield Choral Society conducted by Martyn Brabbins.
“She offers delectable singing in her Scene III solo and she enters ardently into her duets with Orbin… Throughout, her singing affords great pleasure: the tone is lovely, her diction is good, and she copes effortlessly with the compass of the role—right up to a top C towards the end of Scene VI.”

One of the mightiest of first symphonies, Vaughan Williams’s setting of Walt Whitman creates a very special sense of occasion. This recording features Elizabeth Llewellyn as solo soprano with Marcus Farnsworth, the BBC Symphony Chorus and the BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by Martyn Brabbins.
“Elizabeth Llewellyn is outstanding, movingly lyrical and expressive when called for and positively thrilling at her great entrance ‘Token of all brave captains’, which has the electrifying impact the music demands—without in any way disturbing the underlying flow.”
