Programme

Imagine...dream-haunted tapestries of song with one of Britain鈥檚 greatest tenors.

When night falls, so too does silence 鈥� and that鈥檚 when music can weave its darkest spells. In the middle of the 20th century, composers Benjamin Britten and Witold Lutos艂awski were kindred creative spirits, and each crafted ravishing, dream-haunted tapestries of song for a handful of instruments and the tenor voice of Peter Pears. One of Britain鈥檚 greatest living tenors, Mark Padmore, assumes his mantle today, at the dark heart of this typically imaginative programme from Ryan Wigglesworth. Mozart opens the evening in a blaze of sunlight, and Schumann鈥檚 most personal symphony brings it to a close: strong emotions, spoken with love.
