Two of Britten’s most popular works alongside music by his hero, Henry Purcell, and the latter’s other great admirer, Sir Michael Tippett. Tenor Mark Padmore and horn player Stephen Bell will serenade audiences in Britten’s magical evocation of twilight and nightfall, before Britten Sinfonia close the concert with Britten’s dazzling Frank Bridge Variations, a miraculous achievement for the 23 year-old composer.
