About
‘On This Island’ is strikingly fresh and Gilchrist sings these beautiful poems with a graceful insight. Contrasting this opening set, Gilchrist gives a moving and heartfelt performance of Britten’s dark and profound song cycle ‘The Holy Sonnets of John Donne’. My Beloved is Mine ends with what Peter Pears called ‘Britten’s finest piece of vocal music to date’ - a psalm-like poem with energetically evolving rhythms and beautiful harmonies.
James Gilchrist has appeared with many of the world’s prestigious ensembles and under several leading conductors. He is sought after for operatic roles, ensemble performances and as a respected recitalist.
Anna Tilbrook is one of Britain's most exciting pianists, with a considerable reputation in song recitals and chamber music. She made her debut at Wigmore Hall in 1999 and has since become a regular performer at Europe’s major concert halls and festivals.
