Simon Birchall

Simon Birchall is an English bass-baritone who began his singing career as a chorister at Oxford before becoming a choral scholar at Trinity College, Cambridge. He studied under John Carol Case and later at the Guildhall School of Music with Bryan Drake. Known for his work in Baroque and oratorio repertoire, Birchall has performed J.S. Bach’s Passions with the London Handel Orchestra and regularly appears in works by Handel, Mendelssohn, Brahms, and Elgar. His collaborative work includes performances with ensembles like the Amaryllis Consort and vocal consorts that have toured globally, from Japan to East Africa. Recordings like *Handel: Dixit Dominus* and collaborations on *Barber: Vanessa* align with his documented focus on sacred and choral music.

**Note**: While the listed recent releases (*Rutti: Sacred Choral Music*, *Demantius: Danses & madrigaux*, etc.) are stylistically consistent with Birchall’s known repertoire, specific details about his involvement in these exact recordings are not explicitly confirmed in available sources.
