“Intelligent and imaginative programming powers this disc… fine tone, perceptive use of dynamics and well-judged tempi.… This is an invigorating release with two unknown works supporting a mid-century classic.” —Jonathan Woolf, MusicWeb International on “ApIvor, Swain & Finzi: Clarinet Concertos” from Peter Cigleris, Jonathan Raper, Austin Beattie, Lynn Arnold, the London Mozart Players, and John Andrews!

h/t @resonusclassics "Introducing the forthcoming release of 'Arthur Sullivan: Songs for Tenor' from @davidpwebb@aamorchestra and @jkaconductor .
In this debut recording of songs, arias and duets from tenor David Webb, composer Arthur Sullivan emerges as both a figure of Savoy theatre polish, and as a composer of clarity and restraint. Drawing on years of experience with this repertoire, the artists bring an ease that feels instinctive and assured.
With the Academy of Ancient Music, this is the first recording of Gilbert and Sullivan on period instruments, offering a sound closer to that heard in Victorian drawing rooms, concert halls and band stands than the modern pit."
Two Weeks to go to being reunited with @drsamanthaege and the Avril Coleridge-Taylor 'Piano Concerto' with my old friends the @stpaulssinfonia at @stalfegechurch . Plus Grace Williams and Uncle Ralph!
Heading back to @baroquestockfest Baroquestock for some Mozart, Michael Haydn and Boccherini: my ideal mix of the familiar and the unknown! Tickets available at: /events/baroquestock/2183055
Some really lovely rehearsal shots from Sunday's concert with the Hackney Festival Chorus and Haydn Chamber Orchestra, expertly captured by Philip Barrass.
So looking forward to working on this in the Autumn! "A Christmas Miracle" is a new opera by Errollyn Wallen, developed by @mahoganyopera , co-produced by Britten Pears Arts and supported by Jubilee Opera and Orkney Music and Culture. Based on an idea of Benjamin Britten's. (H/t @operanowmagazine )
