Crypt Close-Up

Hugh Cutting and Daniel Murphy celebrate the ways that songwriters have coloured our experience of love in all its forms. Their illuminating choice of songs juxtaposes music from different eras – Dowland to Don Mclean; Britten to the Beatles – demonstrating that whilst times may change, the pangs of the human heart remain the same.

An intimate evening of songs for voice and lute from the rising-star countertenor described by The Times as having ‘an exceptional voice: lustrous and rounded, with power in reserve and immaculate intonation.
