In the Thread: Benjamin Britten’s Violin Concerto

Post Subject: BrittenPosted by twogoodears on: 11/6/2008

Here I am... I've been a Benjamin Britten's fan most of my life... from Simple Symphony Op. 1 to Death in Venice, Noye's Fludde, Ceremony of Carols, the Peter Pears/Benjamin Britten tenor & piano folk songs... to Violin Concerto... I only own and listen to Lubotsky/English Chamber Orchestra/B. Britten on Decca.

I didn't listen to Rostropovich's, but the one with Britten's very own blessing and direction always intrigued me as the "real thing".

BTW: Death in Venice on Decca is absolutely worth a careful, loving listen, Roman. It's my Britten's Desert Island Disc.

Cheers.
