Product Information
Product-Information:
In the catalogue of Britten’s compositions those involving a chorus, with or without instrumental or orchestral accompaniment, loom large. They stretch right across his working life, beginning in 1929 and ending with the Welcome Ode, Op 95, his last completed score finished a few months before his death. The four pieces recorded here belong to the first half of that period; the earliest of them dates from 1933, the latest from 1949. They are all modest in their demands, requiring at most an organ to support the choir and add a touch of colour to the music.
Rezensionen
'This beautifully made record deserves the widest circulation. The sound these choirs make is of great beauty, and is captured in a flawless recording full of atmosphere and warmth' (The Monthly Guide to Recorded Music)
'Reflects great credit on all concerned' (Gramophone)
'Excellent in every aspect. The presence is breathtaking, the singing of both soloists and choir are quite superb, and the accompaniment by the organist, Thomas Trotter, contributes so much although at times it is barely there, just the faintest rumble. Getting all this on to tape so artistically is most creditable. Britten would have loved it. I did.' (Gramophone)
