This collection features four historically and musically significant films from the BBC archives of works and performances by Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears, one of the greatest English tenors and Britten’s long-term partner and artistic inspiration. “Basil Coleman… created massive, painstakingly authentic settings on a 1770s man-o'-war. …its fluency and shifting viewpoints are still striking today.” BBC Music Magazine, August 2008 ***** “Peter Pears patrician features, with he high forehead and aquiline nose, so perfectly suit Edward Fairfax Vere that this, of all roles, is the one with which is most inseparably identified. Opposite him are the burly Billy of Peter Glossop an the black-toned Claggart of Michael Langdon, heading a devoted and well cast company...” Gramophone Magazine, September 2008 |
