    Overview

    Music by the English Orpheus and his own teacher - who both encouraged and survived him - performed by a leading period-instrument orchestra and a group of established singers, joined by a young countertenor who won first prize in the 2021 Kathleen Ferrier Awards, the first performer of his voice type to do so.
