New SinfoniaCast
Britten Sinfonia's latest podcast is timed to coincide with the release of our new Hyperion recording of Handel's Messiah. Soloists Andrew Foster-Williams, Allan Clayton and Julia Doyle pick out their personal highlights and discuss what makes this version so special for them.
The interviews were recorded back in December 2008, whilst Britten Sinfonia and Polyphony were rehearsing for a performance of Messiah at Ely Cathedral, conducted by Stephen Layton. Eleven months later, the fruits of this ongoing partnership can be heard on this new recording - a fantastic Christmas present for any music lover!

Bach meets Brazil in this concert given by the outstanding pianist, Joanna MacGregor, and one of the UK’s most dynamic and musically inquisitive chamber orchestras, the Britten Sinfonia. This programme crosses the invisible divide between the classical and popular Brazilian music, and the concert is sure to sell out fast.
