Together with the same fellow musicians as in the opening concert, Daniel Hope ends his carte blanche by inviting the acclaimed baritone Thomas Hampson to highlight another iconic facet of English music: his proud affection for popular traditions embodied by the immense repertoire of folksongs, whose kaleidoscope of emotions and colours has touched the hearts not only of islanders but also of continental Europeans, such as Haydn and Beethoven, who produced beautiful pieces in English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish tones.
