Understandably, there have been few recordings of Benjamin Britten's Canticles. Although the works are both brilliantly written and profoundly affecting, how many performers would dare contend with the performances of the Canticles by Peter Pears, the tenor for whom they were written, with the composer himself at the piano? Not many, as it turns out, and most of these, whatever their merits, have fallen short of that of Pears and Britten. But this 2001 recording of the Canticles V, plus seven of Britten's folk song settings, comes closer than any other to the ideal set by Pears and Britten. In tenor Ian Bostridge, the Canticles have a singer whose voice is beautiful and whose intelligence is subtle, a singer who understands the music and comprehends the poetry. Pianist Julius Drake does not possess the intimate knowledge of the works that Britten had, but he is an accomplished and sensitive pianist whose accompaniment matches the insighfulness of Bostridge's singing. Countertenor David Daniels is not only one of the best countertenors but is clearly superior both as a singer and as an interpreter to any previous countertenor in the Canticles. Baritone Christopher Maltman is not in the same class as John Shirley-Quirk in the Canticle IV, but he is wonderfully effective in Britten's folk song settings. On its own, this would be an outstanding recording. Taken in context of the Pears/Britten recording, it often rivals and occasionally surpasses the original.
