Bostridge and Pappano perform Quilter's 'Come Away Death'
Ian Bostridge and Antonio Pappano have collaborated on a new album called 'Shakespeare Songs', which features settings of Shakespeare by a diverse range of composers, including Finzi, Quilter, Schubert, Korngold, Britten and Byrd. In the video below, introduced by Joseph Fiennes, Bostridge and Pappano perform Quilter's 'Come Away Death' in the candle-lit Holy Trinity Church in Stratford-upon-Avon, the church where Shakespeare was baptised and is buried.
'Shakespeare Songs' is out now. For more information, visit: warnerclassics.com
