This concert, still available, was a joy. I didn't know the Britten works, among his best. The Svoboda premiere ("Moon Child") explored fascinating textures for the women and the instruments (he's a trombonist), and made an excellent complement to the Weill, which showcased the choir's men

Astonished at the artist — and the date of creation
