A substantial new work by Alexander Goehr, lasting some 37 minutes in performance and scored for tenor solo, children's voices and ensemble, constituted the second half of the opening concert of Birmingham Contemporary Music Group's 25th anniversary season. This world première of the latest BCMG ‘Sound Investment’ commission was conducted by Oliver Knussen, whose discerning advocacy of Goehr's music is deep-rooted and long established.
