Overview

Britten’s vivid versions of bold, dramatic songs by Purcell frame Matthew Rose’s survey of German Romantic ballads and narrative pieces.

The power and warmth of his majestic bass voice contain the colours required to bring each song to life, and to trawl deep beneath their often simple melodies to catch the archetypal messages.

In memory of Robert Easton
