Described by the New Grove as 'one of Britain’s leading countertenors, admired for his clear, mellifluous tone and unmannered style',[1] Charles Brett made his London solo debut in 1965. He subsequently worked with many of the greatest specialists in Early and Baroque music, such as Munrow, Leonhardt, Hogwood, Gardiner, Norrington, Herreweghe and Malgoire. His concert work has taken him all over the world, and he has performed in all the major European Festivals, including Barcelona, San Sebastian, Cuenca, Wroclaw, Prague, Aix-en-Provence, Sable-sur-Sarthe, Lourdes, Saintes, Innsbruck, Flanders and the Henry Wood Promenade Concerts. Further afield he has appeared in the Casals Festival (Puerto Rico), Marrakesh (recorded by French TV), the Festival Historico of Mexico City, and in the USA and Canada. Operatic roles he has undertaken include Oberon in Britten’s Midsummer Night’s Dream, Athamas in Handel’s Semele, and Publio in Gluck’s Clemenza di Tito. He also devised the programme 'The Three Counter-tenors', which he directed and performed widely with James Bowman and Michael Chance.
