Birtwistle/ BBC Singers/ Nash Ensemble - Moth Requiem

2014 heralds the composer Harrison Birtwistle's 80th year. He remains one of the most popular voices in contemporary composition in the UK and beyond. This new collection of premiere recordings draws together recent commissions with older works to mark the occasion, with characteristically flawless performances from the BBC Singers under Nicholas Kok. They are joined on this disc by the Nash Ensemble and baritone Roderick Williams.
