A week with Roddy

What is a typical week when you're one the country's busier solo baritones but also a composer and arranger? Follow Roderick Williams as he gives a recital here, interview there, listens to young singers, stands in front of choirs for that Fauré Requiem - but also tries to write a flute concerto. Glorious chats en route with Gareth Malone, Julia Doyle/Donk, Andrew Manze, Martyn Brabbins, Carolyn Sampson and Gregory Batsleer. Will it ever stop?MUSIC LINKSHandel - Behold, I tell you a mystery (from Messiah) - Roderick Williams / Akademie fuer alter Musik, Berlin - Justin Doyle; Listen on Apple Music https://apple.co/41TInYQButterworth (orchestrated R.

Om Podcasten

Choral Chihuahua is a podcast in which British choral directors chat about things that matter to them: composers they love, points of technique, classic but also niche choral works, other groups and singers they admire. With a light touch, Eamonn Dougan, Robert Hollingworth and now also Nicholas Mulroy chew the choral cud about how (and why) you do it and what they've learnt along the way. Choral Chihuahua is brought to you by I Fagiolini and University of York Music and produced by Polyphonic Films. It's supported through your donations and I Fagiolini Charitable Trust.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/choral-chihuahua. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
