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