A smorgasbord of musical treats serves up a lavish lunchtime feast. Copland’s thrilling anthem Fanfare for the Common Man and Tchaikovsky’s stirringly heroic Marche Slave provide bracing appetizers. Rising-star soprano Ioana Pipelea delivers a main course of operatic gems including the melting Song to the Moon, the achingly beautiful ‘Donde lieta usci’ and the heartrending ‘Il est doux, Il est bon’ topped off by Delibes’ meringue-light Les filles de Cadix. The intense sensuality of Turina’s Origia and Eric Whitacre’s galloping Equus provide perfect digestifs.
