In addition to Helen's growing reputation as a fine early music singer, she received widespread praise for her recent Isolation Songbook, a creative response to a time of chaos and change. The resulting 15 new songs are by turns witty and melancholic, brash and joyful. Helen intersperses these songs with songs about nature by Brahms, Clara Schumann, Vaughan Williams and Tchaikovsky.
