Opera for 6 voices and chamber orchestra
Michael Berkeley (b.1948)
"This is pithy, witty stuff: McEwan skewers these characters to his blackly comic canvas in typically concise fashion... Berkeley's palette-all fevered chromaticism, suspenseful ostinatos and fierce but eminently singable vocal lines-is a heady concoction." - Neil Fisher, The Times,
"For You is a dazzling and taut chamber piece." - Lynne Walker, The Independent,
