No one is more suited to create a compelling ending to Puccini’s otherwise unfinished fantasy story than Christopher Tin, a two-time Grammy-winning composer of concert and media music. Time Magazine calls his music “rousing” and “anthemic,” while The Guardian calls it “an intelligent meeting of melody and theme.” In addition to premiering in some of today’s most popular video games, Christopher’s music has been performed in many of the world’s most prestigious venues, including Lincoln Center, the Kennedy Center, Hollywood Bowl, the United Nations, and Carnegie Hall, where he had an entire concert devoted to his music.
To mark the 200th anniversary of the premiere of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony in Vienna, which took place on May 7, 1824, Gramophone’s podcast this week focuses on the work. Antonello Manacorda has just completed a cycle of the nine symphonies with Akademie Potsdam for Sony Classical, including a brand-new Ninth. James Jolly went to visit him at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden , where he was conducting a run of Bizet’s Carmen. This Gramophone Podcast is produced in association with Wigmore Hall.

The British bass Brindley Sherratt has released his first solo album, ‘Fear No More’, a Delphian recording, with Julius Drake at the piano. One of the UK’s most distinguished singers, and with an international reputation on the great concert and operatic stages, Sherratt talks to James Jolly about this new, and belated, chapter in his musical career. This Gramophone Podcast is produced in association with Wigmore Hall.

Thomas Pitfield, born in Bolton in 1903 and whose life stretched to the very end of the 20th century – he died in 1999 – is one of those polymaths who embraced numerous different outlets: he was a composer, a poet, an illustrator, a calligrapher, a cabinet maker and a teacher. He is probably better known for the people he knew and taught – including John McCabe, John Ogdon and Ronald Stevenson – than in his own right. This new collection of songs is a good start to get to know a fine musical voice. James Jolly spoke, separately, to James Gilchrist and Nathan Williamson about this appealing composer. This Gramophone Podcast is produced in association with Wigmore Hall.
