Overview
The countertenor has enjoyed a prodigious career that has traversed much of the standard repertoire for his voice and in addition vast amounts of the contemporary repertory, including many new works. No fewer than four premières in his programme – from the redoubtable Thea Musgrave as well as two of her younger colleagues.
