Global Wagnerism closing concert James Atkinson (baritone), George Ireland (piano) - £12, £10 (Music Centre members), £6 (students)
Following today's Global Wagnerism Conference, recent BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist James Atkinson performs a programme including excerpts from Tannhäuser and Parsifal and songs by Mahler, Chabrier, Fauré and Vaughan Williams.
“The rising young baritone, making his Wigmore recital debut, has the sort of vocal timbre that seems made to sing serious repertoire — weighty yet suave and noble, with a reserve of power that is compelling when unleashed yet wisely deployed only occasionally.”
