Michael Tippett: A Child of Our Time

Walker; Cheek; Garrison; City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra; Halsey; Tippett

"The spirituals which punctuate the story like chorales in a Bach Passion have a heart-easing expressiveness, warmly idiomatic, while the lightness and resilience of 'Nobody knows' allows the syncopations to be pointed with winning jazziness...The soloists are placed well forward, an outstandingly characterful team of singers specially associated with Tippett's music. On the whole this must be counted first choice." (The Penguin Guide)
