BBC Singers: Joby Talbot & Joanna Marsh (2022)

Two 21st century choral works made up this programme from Milton Court Concert Hall, London on 20th May.  The BBC Singers were first enhanced by the live electronic manipulations of Glen Scott, who was the original collaborator with the composer Joanna Marsh.  British-born Marsh (1970-) composed SEEN for the BBC Singers, and this is the work's world premiere with Glen Scott performing the extensive electronic tweaks on stage with them.  After the interval is Path Of Miracles, composed in 2005 by another British composer, Joby Talbot (1971-).  In four parts, marking the main posts on the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage trail, the hour-long work takes texts from several languages and across history to craft an engaging epic immersion in vocal sound.

  2. Hi Alan, I have enjoyed your blog immensely over the years and still do. Am chaging formats at the moment - my decent stereos are giving g up and my CDRs have become largely unusable. As such am replacing them from here, apart from the many I bought. Thanks for keeping them available 👍.
