composed by Benjamin Britten

Benjamin Britten's recordings of his own operas are definitive -- cutting out the interpretive middle man and going straight to the heart of every bar, every scene. For sure, there are better sounding, and in many cases better sung, recordings to be had, especially of the popular works like Peter Grimes and Billy Budd; but none of them are as ...

composed by Edward Elgar, Spoken Word

Anybody who loves the orchestral music of English composer Edward Elgar -- the brilliant Enigma Variations, the passionate Violin Concerto, the heartrending Cello Concerto, the magnificent symphonies, the spectacular overtures, and the virtuosic Bach and Handel transcriptions -- will sooner or later have to deal with his three sacred oratorios: ...

performed by Benjamin Luxon (baritone), David Willison (piano), Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, Neville Marriner (conductor)
composed by George Butterworth

In a world with too few recordings of the gentle music of George Butterworth, it seems a shame to write that this is the only Butterworth disc anyone will ever need. But it is in fact so: Butterworth died in the Great War at the age of 30 and didn't have the chance to compose enough mature music behind to fill much more than a disc. Most of ...

composed by Benjamin Britten

This second volume completes Decca's compact reissue of Britten conducting his own operas. As with the first volume, it is a self-recommending testament to the synergy of Britten's talents as a composer and conductor, and his continuing preeminence as a recorded interpreter of his own music. Because Britten never completed recordings of his Death ...

composed by Francis Poulenc, Gabriel Fauré, Maurice Duruflé

Gabriel Fauré once famously explained to a critic that he understood death to be "a welcome deliverance, as aspiration towards happiness above, rather than as a painful experience." This is certainly borne out by his setting of the Catholic Requiem Mass. Not only did Fauré decide not to include a setting of the Dies Irae -- the Day of Wrath that ...

composed by Franz Joseph Haydn

Even listeners who know Haydn well are often surprised to find out that the famous composer who wrote scores of symphonies, string quartets, piano trios, barytone trios, and piano sonata among dozens of other instrumental works also wrote operas. But when his employer Prince Nikolaus Esterházy became passionately devoted to opera and built a 400 ...

composed by Franz Joseph Haydn

Joseph Haydn the composer of symphonies, string quartets, piano trios, piano sonatas, and a plethora of other instrumental works was also Joseph Haydn the composer, director, and producer of operas.
