Tea with Alastair Hume - An original King's Singer

Robert talks to one of the original King's Singers that sang for the group's first 25 years. Countertenor 2 Alastair Hume throws light on those heady days, prime-time TV appearances, the glam (or not) of touring, (singing outdoors under corrugated iron in Darwin Australia but in full tails) and chooses some favourite moments. A happy listen - and a particularly English one (if that's ok with everyone else?)Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/choral-chihuahua.

Om Podcasten

Choral Chihuahua is a podcast in which British choral directors chat about things that matter to them: composers they love, points of technique, classic but also niche choral works, other groups and singers they admire. With a light touch, Eamonn Dougan, Robert Hollingworth and now also Nicholas Mulroy chew the choral cud about how (and why) you do it and what they've learnt along the way. Choral Chihuahua is brought to you by I Fagiolini and University of York Music and produced by Polyphonic Films. It's supported through your donations and I Fagiolini Charitable Trust.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/choral-chihuahua. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
