专辑简介

Peter Snipp studied classical singing and opera at The Guildhall School of Music and went on to perform as a principal in many opera houses across Europe and the Middle East. After spending four years as contract principal with English National Opera he diversified into Music Theatre (Show Boat and A Little Night Music), Cabaret (The Three Waiters), Session work (Films: Star Wars, Harry Potter and Lord of The Rings. Albums: Florence and The Machine, Paul McCartney and Dave Brubeck) and comedy (Sandi Toksvig’s Christmas Cracker) Although he continues with all of the above, a new found passion is for Swing, Rat Pack and especially Matt Monro.

This album is mainly dedicated to Matt Monro. Singing his songs and learning about his life has inspired me. To ‘inspire’ means; ‘to breathe life into’ and that is what he has done to me. I wish I could have met him. We were under the same roof in 1984 at the Barbican Centre in London. My Cabaret show ‘A Portrait Of Matt Monro’ is dedicated to him and I hope to bring his life, work and his voice to new and old audience alike.
