Britten Sinfonia with Elizabeth Watts
Britten Sinfonia with Elizabeth WattsPresented by Britten Sinfonia
‘One of the most beautiful voices Britain has produced in a generation’ (International Record Review), soprano Elizabeth Watts joins Britten Sinfonia to perform Finzi's charming song cycle celebrating the joy and innocence of a baby's view of the world.
Richard Blackford's new songs set powerfully moving poems of love, longing and fury by Afghan writer Nadia Anjuman, whose courageous life was tragically cut short when she was killed, aged 25, by her husband.
Britten Sinfonia performs beautifully intimate pieces for strings by Elgar and Dobrinka Tabakova, and we’re treated to the premiere of a new work by the ‘anarchic and cartoonishly fun’ (BBC Radio 3) composer Ryan Latimer.
