Without doubt, Benjamin Britten (1913-1976) left an indelible impression on every genre of 20th century English music. However, it is his smaller scale vocal repertoire that is particularly fascinating. Featuring three of Britten’s Canticles as well as a selection of his best realizations (or “arrangements”, if you want) of Songs by Henry Purcell (1659-95), this recording represents the mature revival of English song.
The Canticles presented on this recording (numbers 1-3) are masterful, morally charged pieces. They demand of the singer and pianist careful attention to how Britten uses text as the starting point for all of his works. The Purcell Realizations further illustrate the genius of Benjamin Britten. Benjamin Britten strikes the ideal balance between providing unbelievably stirring music and serving the text without overwhelming its intent. This recording demonstrates Britten’s preeminence among 20th century song composers. © Passacaille
