About the artist

English countertenor Charles Brett is one of the leading specialists of the Baroque choral and oratorio repertoire. He studied at King's College, Cambridge, making his London debut in 1965 in a performance of Bach's Magnificat. In 1983, he co-founded the Amaryllis Consort, of which he was also the director. He has made numerous recordings, including Purcell's Fairy Queen (under the baton of Benjamin Britten) and birthday odes, Bach's Mass in B minor, and several Handel oratorios.
