Britten (1913-1976) was a "compleat" musician:
composer, pianist, accompanist, conductor, arranger, editor. He
did everything a musician could do, and did all of it brilliantly--particularly
in the realm of opera. Few 20th-century composers have placed
as many works in the active repertory, and none have shown a greater
gift for setting music to words. Here
are his essential recordings.
