Andrew Hamilton (baritone)
Iain Burnside (piano)

British
baritone and rising star Andrew Hamilton returns to the UK from Munich, and the
ensemble of the Bayerische Staatsoper, for a very international recital
programme.

Alongside
music by Vaughan Williams, Schubert, Schumann and Mendelssohn make a rare
appearance at Ludlow English Song Weekend, performed in masterly, witty singing
translations by Jeremy Sams. To these German Lieder, all sharing a Venetian
theme, we add songs by Reynaldo Hahn, a French composer born in Venezuela and
three atmospheric ‘Songs of Venice’ by Michael Head, written in 1974 for Dame
Janet Baker, who is joining us at this year’s festival. Cole Porter rounds off
a cosmopolitan evening.

“Andrew
Hamilton found an astonishing wealth of expression.” Online Merkur
