In case you missed it

Our monthly e-newsletter is out – August on Planet Hugill: Vampires, the Angel of Death and Prophets

A month when we caught some rarities including Marschner’s Der Vampyr at the Grimeborn Festival, Busoni’s Piano Concerto, and Suk’s Asrael Symphony at the BBC Proms, and a new recording of Marschner’s Le prophète.  

Our
interviews this month have something of a string quartet theme with
Barbican Quartet and the Miró Quartet, soprano Aoife Miskelly on
Pergolesi’s L’Olimpiade and conductor Paul Mann on conducting in the
Ukraine.
