notes

The English composer Alec Roth's collaborations with the Indian writer Vikram Seth continue with two song cycles drawing on Chinese culture and history, featuring the tenor Mark Padmore. The programme is balanced by two pieces for solo guitar inspired by, written for and dedicated to the Mexican guitarist Morgan Szymanski.
