MESSAGE FROM DAVID...

Throughout October and November I'll be busy preparing and recording my
next album for ABC classics with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and
conductor Benjamin Northey.

The album will be Celtic in theme and have repertoire that many people have
been wanting me to record for years. Due for release in early 2010, it will contain
songs from Scotland, Ireland, Wales and England. Hopefully many of you will
know and love these songs as I do. It's certainly a great joy to be able to give this
repertoire the royal treatment with the MSO and the Flinders Quartet.

I'm also thrilled that we are able to revisit Bernsteins masterpiece Candide for the
OA and Festival of Sydney. It's a fantastic piece and should be great fun with my
old buddy Emma Matthews as Cunegonde.
