Benjamin Britten, Britain's greatest 20th-century composer, wrote music of crystalline clarity and emotional directness. This 1991 EMI recording features conductor Simon Rattle leading performances of some of Britten's most important works. Rattle brought new vigor to British music—his interpretations have energy and precision without sacrificing warmth. Britten's orchestrations are immaculate, his melodies memorable, and his harmonic language sits perfectly between tradition and modernism. These two discs survey his range: operas, orchestral works, song cycles, and choral music. Whether you're exploring Britten for the first time or deepening your relationship with his music, Rattle's readings offer insight and pleasure. A modern classic recording.
