Tenor Mark Padmore is joined by members of Britten Sinfonia in 3 quintessential British song-cycles: Ralph Vaughan Williams’ On Wenlock Edge (with pianist Huw Watkins), Ten Blake Songs (with oboist Nicholas Daniel) and Peter Warlock’s best-known work, The Curlew. The End by Jonathan Dove (a co-commission by Britten Sinfonia and Wigmore Hall with support from the Tenner-for-a-Tenor campaign) receives its world première recording here.
