Christine Rice mezzo-soprano
Julius Drake piano

With an operatic repertory that over the last few years alone has ranged from Monteverdi through Handel and Mozart and on to Rossini, Verdi, Offenbach and Thomas Adès, the English mezzo has always thrived on variety – a quality once again evident in a programme drawing on three distinctive compositional traditions.

Benjamin Britten (1913-1976)
- - Tit for Tat
Modest Musorgsky (1839-1881)
- - Songs and Dances of Death
Kurt Weill (1900-1950)
- - Was bekam des Soldaten Weib?
  - Nannas Lied
  - Es regnet
  - Berlin im Licht-Song
  - Wie lange noch?
