Tom talks to director, Caroline Parker and to founder and soprano, Joanne Roughton-Arnold ahead of the company's forthcoming tour.Musicians, Mary Dullea and Darragh Morgan and composer, Matthew Shlomowitz join Tom in studio to pay tribute to composer, John White who died earlier this month.

This autumn marks five year since the death of the baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky, aged just 55. To mark this sad anniversary Decca Eloquence has gathered together the 11 recital programmes he recorded for Philips following his sensational triumph at the 1989 Cardiff Singer of the World competition, one that launched his live and recorded career. Anna Barry was the producer of all of Hvorostovsky's recordings for Philips, and for this week's edition of the Gramophone Podcast she joined Editor Martin Cullingford to look back at a glorious voice and a fine artist.

Tom Service talks to Sir Bryn Terfel about an extraordinary life performing at opera houses and concert halls all over the world. He talks about how his career took flight after winning the Lieder Prize at Cardiff Singer of the World in 1989, as well as his partnerships with conductors like Georg Solti and Claudio Abbado and the composer Stephen Sondheim. Bryn Terfel brings drama to the stage through great characters such as Wotan, Scarpia, Sir John Falstaff and Leporello, with music by Wagner, Puccini, Verdi and Mozart. He tells Tom about the importance of being a great storyteller and gives advice on how to deal with the emotional intensity of the drama. Sir Bryn Terfel talks about how it all began, singing folksongs in Wales, and about how we can look forward to hearing him perform in the future as he prepares for The Flying Dutchman by Wagner at Grange Park Opera this summer and a UK tour in the autumn.

Claire began her musical journey at the age of three playing and singing the Angel Gabriel, and she was immediately hooked. Taking up different instruments at her state school soon after, she was set to study music when repetitive strain injury thwarted her plans, and she began to focus on her voice. Going on to train at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, Royal Academy Opera and Guildhall, Claire's career soon took off, and she went on to win a whole series of competitions, including her spectacular recent win of the Dame Joan Sutherland Audience Prize at Cardiff Singer of the World. She is also a Harewood Artist at English National Opera where she has some exciting role debuts coming up, and has performed at houses such as Glyndebourne, Grange Festival and Oper Frankfurt. Claire gives a unique insight into her approach to competitions, on how lack of money can directly restrict your career, and her thoughts on body-shaming in the industry.  Join us for a candid insight into Claire's journey to become a multi award-winning opera singer.

Multi award-winning soprano Angel Blue is known for the beautiful timbre of her voice and her captivating stage presence. Gracing many of the world's most prestigious stages over the last years, Angel is becoming an icon of her generation.  The daughter of a pastor, she grew up in California listening to both gospel and opera and was determined from a young age to make it as an opera singer. To support her training, Angel performed in beauty pageants winning Miss Hollywood among other titles, and learned valuable lessons in self-worth along the way. After a devastating tour of auditions led to one rejection after another, in despair she turned to her mother and her faith for support, which enabled her to turn a corner at a crucial moment in her career.  With determination she built on success after success, not only singing at the highest level but presenting concerts and competitions many of us know and love such as the BBC Proms and Cardiff Singer of The World, alongside founding her own YouTube channel, and last week she accepted the Grammy for the best Opera Recording for Porgy & Bess at the Metropolitan Opera.

At four and a half years old, perched on cushions at The Royal Opera House in London, Gweneth Ann Rand was captivated, and declared she wanted to become an opera singer. With the support of her mother, who was working three jobs to give her the best education she could, Gweneth studied music extensively before joining the first intake of the prestigious Vilar Young Artists Programme at the very same opera house that first inspired her. Although she found it difficult to negotiate her way through the early stages of her career (suffering in the throes of the Cardiff Singer of the World Competition for instance) she found her feet, and despite absolutely hating auditions, went from strength to strength. Gweneth talks openly about the deep losses she encountered at a crucial moment of her career, the freedom of feeling she doesn't need to be a ‘cookie-cutter' opera singer, and how she always steps on the stage as if it's for the last time. You can see Gweneth in The Turn of the Screw from OperaGlass Works (£ or free on trial subscription) here and her recital at the Wigmore Hall with pianist Simon Lepper is available for a limited time here

This week Libby Purves is joined by Klaus Kruse, Bryn Terfel, Sir Patrick Stewart and Becky Unthank. Klaus Kruse is a German director, scenographer, performer and poet. His research into audience/performance spatial relationships and the effecting potential of space within a theatrical experience led him to co-found 'Living Structures'. 'Cart Macabre' is their newest work and two years in the making, part theatre, part installation, it is on at The Old Vic Tunnels, described as "a nightmare fairground ride through a dreamlike landscape". Bryn Terfel is the Welsh bass-baritone who rose to prominence when he won the Lieder Prize in the 1989 Cardiff Singer of the World Competition. Now considered as one of the world's greatest living opera singers, his new album 'Carols and Christmas Songs' is released on Deutsche Grammophon and the new single 'White Christmas' is hotly tipped as the Christmas No. 1. Sir Patrick Stewart is the acclaimed actor, known for successfully bridging the gap between the theatrical world of the Shakespearean stage and contemporary film and television. He is about to bring 'Macbeth' to BBC 4, recreating the role he originally played when it was staged by the Chichester Festival Theatre, then in the West End and on Broadway, directed by Rupert Goold. Becky is one of the Unthank Sisters; highly acclaimed Northumbrian folk singers and clog dancers and the lead vocalists in "The Unthanks" band. This year they took a journey around England to experience living folk dance traditions in action. Along the way they discovered the most surprising dances, ceremonies and rituals. 'Still Folk Dancing...After All These Years' is on BBC 4.
