Work: Sinfonia for Eight Solo Voices and Orchestra

Adams, Rachmaninov and Berio are not three easy bedfellows, however Kazuki Yamada and the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra pull these strands together remarkably. 

The conductor directs the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia and Theatres of Voices in contrasting symphonies by Berio and Stravinsky.

Semyon Bychkov’s Prom appearances are always fascinating experiences and this was no different, with the BBC Symphony Orchestra on tremendous form.
