Edward Lambert






​

​composing for concert & stage
Edward Lambert’s music...
  • "A fascinating take... packed full with stunning music... fusing a traditionally dynamic Bel Canto score without feeling the least bit dated." (Broadway World) 
  • "...seamlessly transitions between sombre, vengeance-laden moments, and tenderly poignant love sequences, offering a tightly woven score that sustains its allure throughout... " (The Wildean, July 2024)
  • "...felt sumptuously melodic, as well as busily fresh, with strong, intensely written passages building to moments of euphoric surprise." (operissima)
  • "...approachable, but contemporary musical style..." (Planet Hugill)
  • "...intriguingly offered elements of bel canto vocal writing to vie with a more ‘modern’ idiom..." (boulezian)
  • "...a score whose eroticism was often visceral." (The Guardian)
  • "...became increasingly disturbing, and confirmed Lambert's effective text-setting." (Opera Today)​
  • "...is always strongly directional and full of emotion..." (Newbury Weekly News)
  • "...was strikingly imagined and very well played." (The Times)
  • "...presented.... some of the most inventively-textured and syntactically original music of the evening." (Daily Telegraph)
