performed by Derek Lee Ragin (counter tenor), Frank Lloyd (horn), Gerald Finley (baritone), Jean Rigby (contralto), Judi Dench, Osian Ellis (harp), Philip Langridge (tenor), Steuart Bedford (piano)
composed by Benjamin Britten

At their best, Benjamin Britten's Canticles are hypnotic works that walk a fine line between piety and theater. If they sound studied, they lose their connection to gut emotion, and if they go over the top expressively, Britten's finely woven tapestries of sound give way to chaos. Few recordings have managed to straddle that line as well as this ...

Britten: Piano Concerto; Johnson Over Jordan (Suite) (2005) more music like this

performed by Joanna MacGregor (piano), Steuart Bedford (conductor)
composed by Benjamin Britten

When Benjamin Britten revised his Piano Concerto, Op. 13, in 1945, he replaced the original, mischievous Recitative and Aria with a new third movement, a haunting "Impromptu"; this is the most often performed and recorded version. However, this 2005 Naxos reissue of a 1990 Collins recording provides the listener an opportunity to hear both ...

composed by Benjamin Britten

Collins Classics was one of the first of the new wave of English classical labels that started up when the compact disc was first introduced way back in the '80s. Collins brought out wonderfully balanced and nuanced recordings by the Sixteen, Peter Maxwell Davies, and Maxim Shostakovich, among many, many others. Perhaps their finest recordings, ...
