Listen to Betsy Jolas, Dutilleux, Copland and Dvořák in a correspondence-themed concert dedicated to the art of the letter.
After Betsy Jolas delivers her ‘personal Bach playlist’, soprano Carolyn Sampson stamps her authority on Henri Dutilleux’s lyrical collection of letters and poems. Then following Copland’s haunting wartime dispatch, it’s Dvořák’s last and greatest symphony, a captivating letter from America. First class!
Recorded at Manchester's Bridgewater Hall on 11 December 2021
