JAMES GILCHRIST tenor
“...he is now unsurpassed among lyric tenors in sweetness and technical security, and for his musical intelligence.” - The Independent

In Britten’s opera, a testament to the composer’s pacifist beliefs, James sings the role of Lechmere. Richard Hickox conducts the City of London Sinfonia in a wonderful recording of this rarely performed piece.

“Gilchrist's sweet, knowing tenor is perfectly suited to the genre... His technical ability and natural phrasing makes them sound as conversational and effortless as folk song should...[the] fine first fruits from the new Gilchrist/ Hyperion partnership.”
