The Britten Sinfonia returns to the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London for a work known as a tour de force for soprano and orchestra - Ligeti's Mysteries of the Macabre. The Canadian soprano Barbara Hannigan has received much acclaim for performances of his music, as well as in the opera house. She has sung this work across the world, and in this concert performs it alongside Ligeti's energy-fuelled Concert Românesc. Two spirited Rossini overtures, some of Mozart's most popular songs and Weber's virtuosic Concertino for Horn make up the rest of this captivating programme.
