Taibhithe de Britten Sinfonia ag BBC Orchestras and Choirs

Benjamin Britten lives! 50 years to the day since his death in 1976, the Britten Sinfonia and the BBC Singers unleash the irrepressible life-force of Britten’s St Nicholas, the story of the saint who inspired the figure of Santa Claus.

Britten Sinfonia and the BBC Singers combine to realise Britten’s joyous cantata telling the tale of the saint that inspired Santa Claus – some of the composer’s brightest and boldest music.
