Contemporary Resonance

Andrew Gourlay conducts Britten Sinfonia in works by Tippett, Knussen and Britten, chosen by Mark-Anthony Turnage as a foil to his new song cycle, Refugee, sung by Allan Clayton.

Britten Sinfonia conducted by Andrew Gourlay is joined by tenor Allan Clayton in a programme devised by Mark-Antony Turnage as a foil to one of his latest works. His song-cycle 'Refugee' is Turnage's moving response to one of the great crises of our times, setting texts by authors from Emily Dickinson to Benjamin Zephaniah. The other music in the programme all has a personal resonance for Turnage, pieces by Tippett, Britten and Oliver Knussen, Turnage's own teacher who died last year.

Recorded last month at Milton Court, London, and presented by Martin Handley.
