BBC Proms 2018, Proms at Cadogan Hall 04 - Dame Sarah Connolly and Joseph Middleton (320kbps .mp3)
Live at BBC Proms: Dame Sarah Connolly and Joseph Middleton perform an English song recital on the theme of Lullabies and Dreams
Lullabies and dreams, sleep and insomnia are themes that drift through this night-inspired recital of English song.
British mezzo-soprano Dame Sarah Connolly makes her Proms recital debut in a programme that combines familiar favourites - Britten's cycle A Charm of Lullabies and songs by Vaughan Williams and Howells - with world premieres by Mark-Anthony Turnage and Lisa Illean, as well as of two songs Britten initially intended for A Charm of Lullabies.
Hubert Parry's 'Weep you no more' marks the centenary of his death and all the composers studied or taught at the Royal College of Music.
