“Sir Stephen Hough piano; Ailish Tynan soprano; Ema Nikolovska mezzo-soprano*; Nicky Spence tenor; James Newby baritone; Alisdair Hogarth piano”. Also, Jess Dandy contralto. *I don’t think she appears.
“Admired not only as a pianist but also as a composer and writer, the recently knighted Sir Stephen’s talents as a songwriter are celebrated in a programme including a world première jointly commissioned by Wigmore Hall, The 92nd Street Y in New York and Tippet Rise in Montana. The evening’s varied song cycles set verses by Rainer Maria Rilke, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Oscar Wilde and more – including verses by Lady Antonia Fraser.”
