Roger Vignoles

About Roger Vignoles

Among the superbly schooled and stylistically sensitive group of accompanists to have come from the U.K. in the last quarter of the 20th century, Roger Vignoles ranks with the finest. Originally inspired by Gerald Moore, who advanced piano accompaniment from subordination to full partnership, Vignoles has, from the beginning, shown a grasp of differing schools of songwriting and the gift for putting his singers at ease. Moreover, his own interests stretch to wide horizons; he is as on the mark with songs from the cabaret as with the rarefied atmospheres found in the songs of Duparc. A partnership with star baritone Roderick Williams has resulted in several acclaimed albums for Vignoles, including Mirages: The Art of French Song in 2022.
