Overview

A recent review in The New York Times placed Sarah Connolly ‘atthe peak of her career’, a judgement underpinned by the penetratingspiritual insights and emotional power of her artistry.

She andMalcolm Martineau offer a programme touched by nostalgia andlonging, from Hanns Eisler’s bitter-sweet Brecht settings to Britten’sevocations of night and sleep, A Charm of Lullabies.
