BBC Proms 2016 - Michael Tippett - A Child of Our Time


As Europe slipped towards Fascism, Michael Tippett felt solidarity with the downtrodden. Then, in 1938, a young Polish Jew, whose parents had been deported by the Nazis, shot a German diplomat in Paris. Tippett had the central figure for his 'oratorio of contemplation', 'A Child of Our Time' - inspired by Bach's Passions, Handel's 'Messiah' and American spirituals. With Tamara Wilson (sopano), Pamela Helen Stephen (mezzo-soprano), Peter Hoare (tenor), James Creswell (bass) and the BBC National Orchestra and Chorus of Wales, conducted by Mark Wigglesworth.
