Tippett's Tearoom

[Der lächelnde Schatten]

Here's a question: have any of you seen the John Bridcut documentary called Michael Tippett, The Shadow and The Light? It's too bad this isn't available for streaming or on DVD.

Another Tippett discovery.

Divertimento for Chamber Orchestra 'Sellinger's Round'.



Baroque imbued with modernism, or could be other way around. Heart of the work A Lament described by Michael Kennedy as " one of those wonderful Tippett melodies" which I found to be more then that - music that touches the soul.

That looks like a neat recording. I especially like Britten's Sinfonietta. For work that was designated as 'Op. 1', he was certainly off to a good start. I'll have to revisit that Tippett work.

Forthcoming from LPO:

This new disc seems very promising! Since Osborne already recorded the PC excellently with Martyn Brabbins and the BBC Scottish SO on Hyperion, I'm especially looking forward to hearing Gardner's take on the powerful and sometimes elusive 2nd Symphony.
