A nice little at home concert from Bryn Terfel & Hannah Stone. I only came across this through a review in the Telegraph and it proved an unexpected treat. I especially liked Bryn's rendition of "Stars".

Wynne Evans' "at home" for Grange Park Opera is fun as well - the singing's not as good as Bryn, but the anecdotes are better... Joseph Calleja is doing one in a couple of weeks too - the full program is here: grangeparkopera.co.uk/whats-on/ |

I have just discovered, thoroughly enjoyed, and would recommend "Bryn Terfel at 50" on Sky Arts. Michael Sheen introduces a whole host of excellent performers at this Albert Hall concert.
If you have a Sky box this is currently available on their "catch up" service.
To me only one performer seemed poor but that was only because he seemed out of place amongst the others who could actually sing properly and not swallow the end of each line. If you watch this I would be interested if you can guess who I mean and if you agree or not. The programme was:
TCHAIKOVSKY.
