Alfred Deller
When Alfred Deller made his first record in 1949 at the age of 37, he seemed an exotic reincarnation of a virtually extinct breed - the countertenor. By the time of his death in 1979, his voice and artistry had changed the musical landscape for ever. Richard Wigmore presents the first of three programmes exploring his life, with contributions from Deller's son Mark, members of the Deller Consort ,
Sir Michael Tippett , record producer Seymour Solomon and countertenors James
Bowman and Paul Esswood.
Including songs by Dowland, Morley, Campion, Byrd, Parsons and Johnson, tavern songs by Henry Lawes and John Eccles , and works by Gibbons, Purcell and Handel. Discs Repeat
