"There was gorgeous Monteverdi too, but the highlight of the evening, without a doubt, was the glorious rendering of Psalm 110, Dixit Dominus, by Handel. Each movement held something subtle, something notable, but if I had to pick out the moments, then the striking alto solo section, sung by Beth Taylor with continuo played by Viola de Hoog was pretty special..." (2017, Belfast Cathedral Blog Sestina Spring Concert)

Keith Bruce, The Herald Scotland 15/01/2017 : "Note the name of mezzo-soprano Beth Taylor, because we should be hearing much more of her. Every soloist in Friday lunchtime’s concert was worth the fullest attention, but Taylor’s relaxed approach to Stravinsky’s Cantata from the early 1950s was quite remarkable. Her tone is beautiful but it was the constant sense of power is reserve, only occasionally hinted at in the score, that was truly impressive. She took this demanding music in her stride in a manner that quite contradicted her tender years" (2017)

She is keen to teach privately in classical singing for all voice types and is already very highly praised for ability as an informal but informative tutor!
