About

The early collaborations of Britten and Pears for HMV display an infectious vigour. Britten’s own works, the Seven Sonnets of Michelangelo, Op.22 and the Holy Sonnets of John Donne, Op.35 are given definitive readings.

Also included are folk song settings by Britten, Grainger and Copland and the programme concludes with two of Schubert’s most famous songs ‘Im Fruhling’ and ‘Auf der Bruck’.

Essential listening for fans of Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears.
