Show more BBC Radio 3 marks Human Rights Day 2020 with the first broadcast performance of Max Richter’s new work, VOICES. VOICES incorporates words from the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, including its powerful opening statement: "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights." These words, spoken in languages by contributors from across the globe, are woven into a moving musical reflection on the state of the world today. Elizabeth Alker presents this special arrangement, which was conceived during the Covid-19 lockdown and recorded with social distancing measures in the BBC’s Maida Vale studios. We'll hear the Max Richter Ensemble joined by narrator Sheila Atim, soprano Grace Davidson, violinist Viktoria Mullova plus members of Tenebrae and conductor Robert Ziegler. The broadcast opens with a performance of Infra, the composer’s musical response to the London 7/7 terror attacks.
