Charles Daniels
British tenor Charles Daniels is a well-known interpreter of Baroque music, but his narrative gifts have been praised for music from Machault to the contemporary. Born in Salisbury, he was a chorister and Choral Scholar at King’s College Cambridge, then studied under Edward Brooks at the Royal College of Music.
His extensive discography includes Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo with Andrew Parrott, Bach’s Matthäus-Passion with the Bach-Stiftung, Handel’s Messiah, Schütz’ Weihnachtshistorie and Monteverdi’s Vespers with the Gabrieli Consort, Wojciech Kilar’s Missa Pro Pace with the Warsaw Philharmonic, The Beggar’s Opera, much Purcell and Bach, and more intimate discs such as Senfl Tenorlied with Fretwork, Heracleitus with the Bridge Quartet, and Lambert airs with Fred Jacobs.
His concert appearances span the intimate and the grand, from a BBC Radio 3 recital with lutenist Elizabeth Kenny and touring the domestic music of J.S. Bach with the Nederlandse Bach Verenging, to BBC Promenade concerts, Luigi Nono’s Canti di Vita e Amore (Edinburgh Festival), Handel’s Messiah in Vienna with Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Britten’s War Requiem (Canterbury, Salisbury) and Elgar’s Dream of Gerontius (Wroclaw, Cardiff, Warsaw).
