The award-winning independent label Signum Classics prepares its celebrations of the Britten Centenary with 4 new releases in 2013. Complementing virtuoso cellist Matthew Barley’s ‘Around Britten’ tour, a key event of the Britten 100 celebrations in 2013, the new release Around Britten | Matthew Barley showcases Britten’s Cello Suite No. 3, alongside works by Bryars and Tavener; music that Barley will be performing live at venues across the country throughout the year. On iTunes, the album will continue to grow and accumulate tracks for free throughout the year as the commissioned world-premieres featured in the tour are recorded along with additional tracks.
