Orchestra: City of London Sinfonia . Number of Discs: 2 . REVIEW: Penguin Guide 2010 edition *** “Jean Rigby may lack the warmth of Janet Baker, but she gains from having a younger-sounding voice. Equally, the timbre of Nigel Robson as the Male Chorus, rather darker than Peter Pears’s, adds to the dramatic bite of his characterization.” FOR FURTHER INFO OR TRACK DETAILS PLEASE REFER TO OUR PICTURES.
