Overview
Music that celebrates Pride Month and launches Thomas's album Unveiled, bringing together friendly rivals Britten and Tippett with music by Ruth Gipps, who sets Rupert Brooke, and a cycle by the tenor himself, whose ‘golden tenor voice,’ according to Seen and Heard International, ‘can weep as well as it can soar’.
