Martyn Hill, David Wilson-Johnson, BBC Symphony Orchestra, Oliver Knussen - Peter Maxwell Davies: Taverner

The long-awaited recording of Sir Peter Maxwell Davies' iconoclastic opera based on the life of 16th-century composer John Taverner

Reviews

"The score that seemed so challenging, dissonant and problematic... is realised here with as much smoothness and expressive vigour as if it were, indeed, a Britten opera. The end of Act 1 is shattering. The cast, led by Martyn Hill as the 16th-century composer, is uniformly superb."
