Michael Tippett’s final opera ‘New Year’ performed again at last… for broadcast on BBC Radio 3 and an NMC Recordings production next year. A revelatory performance this evening at Glasgow City Halls by the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra / Martyn Brabbins + fine soloists and chorus.
I saw Tippett's New Year over 30 years ago, and tonight's performance by BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra was like visiting an old friend. Strange and brilliantly mercurial. A landmark musical event. Bravo to all.
