	György Ligeti, Le Grand Macabre; BBC Singers, Justin Way (director); BBC Symphony Orchestra, Alexander Rumpf ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		This Barbican concert performance was of Ligeti’s 1996 revised score with the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Singers under the baton of Alexander Rumpf, who was standing in for an indisposed Michael Boder.
		The carnivalesque is the grotesque and surreal use of satire and parody where meaning becomes meaningless and sense becomes nonsense, and it is Ligeti’s inversion and subversion of language that is the essential hallmark of the opera.
		The conducting was incisive and perfectly paced and the BBC SO played with white hot intensity in impeccable form; notable were the timpani, bass-drum and trombones, whilst the BBC Singers and all the principals, especially the wonderful Willard White, acquitted themselves superbly in this very difficult but rewarding score.

	classical music - andante - springtime at the proms
		Richard Hickox, numerous choirs and the orchestra of BBC Wales in Debussy's Printemps, Finzi's Cello Concerto (with Raphael Wallfisch) and Britten's Spring Symphony.
		250 adult singers in seats above the orchestra and 100 young boys on the stage was a very impressive sight.
		It was also a joy to hear the individual orchestra instruments create beautiful colors: both Debussy and Finzi had used the orchestra to create one uniform sound, but in the Britten the instruments took on a life of their own, instrumental and vocal voices as equal partners in weaving counterpoint.

	Benjamin Britten - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although ultimately held back by his parents (at the suggestion of College staff), Britten had also intended to study with Alban Berg in Vienna.
		His first compositions to attract wide attention were the Sinfonietta (Op.1) and a set of choral variations A Boy was Born, written in 1934 for the BBC Singers.
		However, apart from the Piano Concerto (1938) and the Diversions for piano and orchestra (written for Paul Wittgenstein in 1940), he wrote very little music for the instrument, and in a 1963 interview for the BBC said that he thought of it as "a background instrument".

	Britten Singers
		It was as a broadcasting choir, the BBC Northern Singers, that the Britten Singers were originally formed, and since the 1950's they have been acknowledged as one of the world's leading professional chamber choirs.
		As their name suggests, the Britten Singers have a special commitment to British music, which has emerged from the distinctive performing tradition of the BBC Northern Singers.
		This is reflected in their imaginative flair for programme building, which may develop a literary, pictorial or emotional idea, follow the theme of a festival, celebrate an occasion, or perhaps explore a style or period of music in depth.

	The 1989 BBC Ruddigore
		That said, the stereo sound separates singers well to the advantage of items such as the Madrigal, in which all four principal voices are clearly distinct but balanced and blended.
		When first broadcast on BBC Radio 2, an interval talk was given between the acts of each opera by series consultant David Mackie.
		The singers are all very good, but in terms of atmosphere, especially in dialogue, the performance lacks either the spontaneity of a live performance or the theatricality of the earlier 1966 BBC recording.

	Review: King's Singers Christmas - BBC Music Mag
		It was King's, of course, that spawned the eponymous Singers.
		Though none of the original 1968 line-up now remains, the group's new christmas disc - comprising 25 carols in seven languages from across five centuries - marks something of a return to basics, with no technical trickery, just six male voices clustered round the mike.
		As the booklet notes say, and as the performances prove, a masterpiece like 'The Coventry Carol' 'remains most poignant in its authentic 16th-century version', while (pace Pitts) a work as pure as Praetorius's 'Es ist ein Ros' needs no embellishment.

		Thomas Ad?s new violin concerto, his first significant work since last year's The Tempest, comes with a typically laconic programme note by the composer, though the piece itself turns out to be anything but laconic.
		The BBC Singers and the Nash Ensemble, conducted by Stephen Cleobury and Martyn Brabbins respectively, shared the late-night programme, which offered a final centenary salute to Tippett.
		It even managed a premiere - Tippett's arrangement of Over the Sea to Skye that was originally intended as the Scottish component in his Four Songs from the British Isles, while the suite extracted from Tippett's 1961 incidental music to The Tempest was new to the Proms too.
