Public masterclass with Dame Felicity Lott as part of the Oxford Lieder Festival: "Here was a heavier soprano voice with considerable resonance in the lower register. She began with the well known Gretchen am Spinnrade, another Goethe song of lost love. Hers was a secure interpretation. (...) Béatrice was able to incorporate her mentor's suggestions, enabling her to give a heart-felt cry for the ending "Mein Ruh ist hin, mein Herz ist schwer". Her second choice was another Schubert favourite, Du bist die Ruh, with words by Rückert. This was an enjoyable performance. » Martyn Harrison, Seen and Heard International, October 2014. (2014)
