composed by Benjamin Britten

Decca is to be commended for reissuing the original 1959 recording of Peter Grimes, conducted by the composer and starring Peter Pears, who created the role. There have been a number of subsequent recordings of the opera, but this one, both as a document of the composer's intentions, and on its own musical merit, remains essential for any Britten ...

composed by Igor Stravinsky

At the end of the twentieth century, Igor Stravinsky's stock was riding high as critics of various kinds began to agree separately that he may have been the greatest composer of the Modern Era. However, even before that, critical appraisals of Stravinsky's work as a conductor took an about-face. During his lifetime, and even a little after, ...
