The distinctive genius of Michael Tippett shines brightly in his moving song cycle and exhilarating piano sonata - both creating an utterly personal sound-world. Tippett's centenary and his love of Purcell's music are celebrated by a young tenor from BBC Radio 3's New Generation Artists, and a renowned pianist who knew Tippett well and is the dedicatee of the Third Sonata.
