TenorAinsley, John Mark
ComposerTippett, Sir Michael

Part of Tippett's incidental music for the Old Vic 'Tempest' in 1961. Text: William Shakespeare. Full Fathom Five is an exercise in starkness, its telling austerity underlining the miraculous modulation on 'sea-change'. It is the last of Tippett's claims to greatness as a songwriter. Here, to paraphrase Shostakovich, there may not be many notes; but there is a lot of music.
With English pianist Iain Burnside.
