Britten A Boy Was Born
Fresh from their Associate Artist series at our Summer Festival, Gabrieli Consort & Players return as part of their final celebrations of their 30th birthday year. Britten’s virtuosic choral masterpiece is built around a tapestry of medieval poetry which has inspired so much glorious twentieth-century English choral music. It is accompanied by another of the choral collections from across the ages for which Gabrieli are so widely renowned.
“…Budding singers, composers, conductors and producers everywhere take note: this is how it’s done … All we can do is applaud…” Classic FM Magazine, April 2012
