Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra by Various, Fra (2020/2020), Dirigent Stephanie Childress, Philharmonic Hall, Liverpool, United Kingdom

Tenor Peter Hoare returns to Liverpool with Benjamin Britten’s serene song cycle based on themes of sleep and the night with texts by British poets (Shelley, Tennyson, and Shakespeare amongst them). Stephanie Childress, in her debut as conductor with the orchestra after having just won second place at La Maestra conducting competition in Paris, continues the nocturnal theme with the evening frolics of Fauré’s commedia dell arte characters and the most popular night time serenade ever from Mozart.
