Britten - Billy Budd

Search: To War
by: Jonathan Lemalu, London Symphony Orchestra

Release Date September 15, 2008
A tremendous new recording, made at a live performance at the Barbican, London, of Britten's Billy Budd. A very strong cast, with Bostridge as Starry Vere, means that it is a pleasure from beginning to end. I was there at the performance, and although it was a concert performance (rather than a staged one) it was completely draining in its emotional intensity. Makes you realise what a great composer Britten was.

Britten: Billy Budd

Search: To War
from: London

Release Date April 12, 1989

The vocal lines fit the voice perfectly, utilising all its strengths and usually avoiding its weaknesses. When you look at the characters he asked Pears to play, however, a rather different picture emerges. As a performer, Pears comes across as rather refined, sophisticated, something of an aesthete, a bit of an intellectual. So, while he makes a good fist of Peter Grimes, it is Grimes the dreamer that tends to stay in the memory: the tough, violent, naïve fisherman is more Jon Vickers territory. ... Read More:
