Overview

Wigmore Hall/Independent Opera Song Competition Winner's Recital

Having won the Wigmore Hall/Independent Opera Song Competition in September 2019, the Russian baritone returns with the Bulgarian pianist, his regular duo partner, for a programme that focuses on the knightly hero of Cervantes’s classic novel, and also mixes Rachmaninov with two leading American composers of song.
