Summary:

The first commercial recording of Michael Tippett's opera New Year, featuring a stellar cast, BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra conducted by Martyn Brabbins. This major 2-disc release was recorded in Glasgow in April 2024 ahead of the live performance given with stage director Victoria Newlyn. Described by Tippett's acclaimed biographer, Oliver Soden, as the recording that fills a gaping hole in the history of British opera, providing the missing link between Benjamin Britten and Mark-Anthony Turnage, New Year is a space-aged fairytale opera that moves between two worlds of 'Somewhere and Today' and 'Nowhere and Tomorrow'.
