James Gilchrist sings The Curlew
Lesley Hatfield leads the 大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales, with soloists Becky Jones, Alice Neary, and James Gilchrist, in a concert featuring Warlock and Britten.
The 大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales presents music which evokes and explores the modern fascination with renaissance song. Beginning with John Woolrich's reimagining of a Monteverdi aria, featuring viola soloist Becky Jones, we pass on to Judith Bingham's setting of poetry by Blake and dictionary entries by Samuel Johnson in her Strange Words with tenor James Gilchrist and cellist Alice Neary. James Gilchrist will then sing his own arrangements of three Dowland songs, before we revisit some of the same musical material, as presented by Britten in his Lachrymae. Also in the programme are two of Peter Warlock's best-known works: the Capriol Suite, based on melodies from a renaissance dance manual, and The Curlew, his celebrated setting of W B Yeats poems.
