This special collection of 22 works by Britten demonstrates how the composer's love of poetry formed the basis of much of his choral and opera music; inspired by poets such as Auden, Smart and Hopkins, Britten turned their works into fascinating narratives. His creative text design and skillful melodies of such works as "Rejoice in the Lamb", "The Ceremony of Hymns" and the cult "Military Requiem" captivated listeners throughout the 20th century and beyond. Among the world—class performers represented in the collection are Robert Tire, Janet Baker, Elizabeth Söderstrom and the Choir of King's College Cambridge.
This seven-CD box set is part of our series of Britten releases dedicated to the composer's centennial anniversary.
