composed by Benjamin Britten

What can be said about Britten's War Requiem that hasn't already been said? That it is brilliantly composed, endlessly fascinating, and profoundly affecting? That it is lyrically heartrending, musically heartbreaking, and emotionally devastating? That it is the single most persuasive setting of the Requiem text of the twentieth century? That is ...

performed by Ernest Lush (piano), Jacqueline du Pré (violoncello), Stephen Bishop Kovacevich (piano), William Pleeth (violoncello)
composed by Benjamin Britten, François Couperin, George Frederick Handel, Johann Sebastian Bach, Johannes Brahms, Manuel de Falla

Before she landed a contract with EMI, cellist Jacqueline du Pré made a few recordings for the BBC. Or, more properly put, she made a few broadcasts for the BBC which, after she landed her EMI contract, became recordings. The du Pré of the EMI recordings was a powerful and expressive player who gave everything she had to the music she performed. ...

performed by Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Paavo Järvi (conductor)
composed by Benjamin Britten, Edward Elgar

Many have argued that Paavo Järvi is a more talented and more accomplished conductor than his father Neeme. That may or may not be the case -- his baton technique may exceed him and his taste as an interpreter all but certainly surpasses his father's, but his control of the orchestra may not quite match his father's. One thing that is evident: the ...

composed by Benjamin Britten, English Traditional

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 ...

It is difficult to imagine a better celebration of the immense spiritual and historical richness of Yuletide than this multi-faceted and deeply rewarding disc.
