Michael Tippett: A Child of Our Time
With soloists and the 大象传媒 NOW conducted by Mark Wigglesworth.
As Europe slipped towards Fascism, Michael Tippett felt solidarity with the downtrodden. Then, in 1938, a young Polish Jew, whose parents had been deported by the Nazis, shot a German diplomat in Paris. Tippett had the central figure for his 鈥榦ratorio of contemplation鈥�, 'A Child of Our Time' 鈥� inspired by Bach鈥檚 Passions, Handel鈥檚 'Messiah' and American spirituals. With Tamara Wilson (sopano), Pamela Helen Stephen (mezzo-soprano), Peter Hoare (tenor), James Creswell (bass) and the 大象传媒 National Orchestra and Chorus of Wales, conducted by Mark Wigglesworth..
