If you do fancy any on the CD's or DVD's available from the Sixteen's website, if you enter CLASSIC FM (must have the space in) you will qualify for 20% off your order.
All the best

This should be a very interesting series as it is all about late romantic to contemporary, a period I particularly love. Bruckner's sacred music is very beautiful, especially the Motets, Poulenc is fun, Faure, famous for his almost minimalist but spine chilling Requiem, and Gorecki's fascinating sounds - even if you don't like the music, which I do.
And of course the 16 are a superb group of singers who present very high class performances.
Looking forward to it.
Russell.

I am looking forward to this now. I am currently working my way through the DVD of the first series, I do like The Sixteen very much and Elin Manahan Thomas, who used to regularly sing with them. I am sure it will be more of the same for the 2nd series!
All the best
Graham
