    The Little That Was Once A Man - Nathan Williamson & James Gilchrist

    Blessed be III - Michael Finnissy & Lotte Betts-Dean

    Working together can become a blessing for a composer as well as a singer. If creating is a form of being, it becomes a present to ourselves. Sabine Bergk talks with Michael Finnissy and Lotte Betts-Dean about the creative process, of truly becoming the composition and about the blessing of existing together through music.

  4. Lingering Music - Thomas Pitfield

    Lingering Music - Thomas Pitfield

    Discovering British Art Song is like taking turns and twists in undulating landscapes. Sabine Bergk talks with James Gilchrist and Nathan Williamson about the variety of the songs of Thomas Pitfield, an exceptional composer, poet, painter and peace activist (1903-1999). In Pitfield's songs, the beauty of the moment shines through delicate lines of shadows and light. In many songs, the poem and the composition originate from the same feather - Pitfield worked as his own singer songwriter, ahead of the times.

    Blessed Be I - Michael Finnissy

    It remains a mystery how music appears and comes alive. In his song cycle "Blessed be", Michael Finnissy explores sensitively twisting and turning lines, shifting between Music's ancient roots and the 'moment of Now'. Magic seems to arise everywhere, if we open up our senses. The performers in ‘Blessed be 1’ are Lotte Betts-Dean, Valerie Wellbanks ('cello) and Olga Stezhko (piano).

  8. The letters of Nastasya Filippovna - Sidney Corbett

    The letters of Nastasya Filippovna - Sidney Corbett

    Complexity culminates into tragedy in Dostoevsky's masterpiece "The Idiot" - and it might be nearly impossible to set it into music. With the "The letters of Nastasya Filippovna", Sidney Corbett reduced the drama to a maximum of intensity and obsession. If love might never be possible - beauty always is.
