Nakład wyprzedany, ostatni egzemplarz This extraordinary program takes us into the world of English song art - from the Edwardian aesthetics of a quilter or early Vaughan Williams to the highly expressive style of Howells or Finzi. And the Purcell arrangements by Britten and Tippett present themselves as the fruitful confrontation of two great composers of the 20th century with their musical heritage. After his enthusiastically received Handel CD, Bejun Mehta proves to us once again his mastery of language and singing with such a diverse repertoire • This programme offers a vivid and varied cross-section of English song, ranging from the Edwardian aesthetic of Quilter and early Vaughan Williams to the intensely expressive style of Howells and Finzi. The Purcell realisations by Britten and Tippett, meanwhile, are products of two great 20th-century composers engaging with their musical heritage. In all these different styles, Bejun Mehta shows the same verbal and vocal mastery that won such acclaim for his debut Handel recital on harmonia mundi.
