When you find yourself in a freezing cold pool under a waterfall in Brazil, and your friends won’t let you get out unless you sing. Nessun Dorma it is then. #music #tenor #nessundorma #brasil #waterfall

Coming to the end of my second, and final, season as Artistic Director of West Green House Opera.

Fascinating to have been this side of the industry, whilst also maintaining my singing.

Have got to know some wonderful people in this part of Hampshire!

Good morning. Breakfast is live BBC Radio 3 Today two newsmen make music- Steve Rosenburg & Ciaran Jenkins play Myfanwy, Andreas Scholl's Handel, Thomas Elwin sings Clemence de Grandval’s song of a broken vase, and on Finnish Kalevala Day – we hear the sound of the kantele.

The disc is worth getting for Liszt's Petrarch Sonnets, throw in songs by Augusta Holmès and Clemence de Grandval and you have a winner - le vase brisé from Thomas Elwin & Lana Bode on Voces8 Records. My record review:

My first solo album, Le vase brisé, is coming out at the end of the month, with friend and collaborator Lana Bode - this screenshot from our album booklet is the most important page. Without these people there would be no album. Thank you all!!
