About

"I was particularly keen to make this CD as I wanted a newer record of my treble voice: it has changed significantly since my previous recordings as a chorister. I also wished to promote items which are not normally associated with the standard treble repertoire.

Through my association with Andrew Plant, The Britten-Pears Foundation generously supported the creation of the recording and allowed me the immense privilege of recording unpublished works by Britten, therefore greatly increasing the documental importance of this CD... Mr Bowman's voice had been one of the first I had heard in recordings and live concerts.

Later, as a chorister, I was lucky enough to sing with him when he was a soloist in performances of Messiah and the St John Passion. The chance to work with him made the prospect of the disc better than I could have imagined.
