In case you missed it online, our December newsletter has arrived, a handy digest of the month’s reviews. December was a month when we moved from Gilbert & Sullivan to Christmas celebrations both well-known and lesser known. Interviews this month include baritone Benjamin Appl on his three new discs from Christmas in Regensburg to György Kurtág, composer Nathan Williamson on his new opera for London Youth Opera, and composer Stephen Goss on his latest triple album which is a celebration of collaboration.
