Eight Songs For A Mad King (April 2012 staging)

[Neil McGowan]

The Guardian has another piece of music theatre for us - it's not clear how long it might remain available?

Written in 1969, Sir Peter Maxwell Davies' Eight Songs for a Mad King changed the direction of British music. Watch Psappha Ensemble and baritone Kelvin Thomas perform the iconic work in a production that was filmed in April 2012 at the Digital Performance Laboratory at the University of Salford's MediaCityUK Building.
