Original-Ausgabe CDA66845 // Jean Rigby (Mezzosopran) - Roger Chase (Viola) - Nigel Hawthorne (Erzähler) // This recording brings together a remarkably diverse number of works from virtually the entire span of Britten's mature composing career, beginning in 1930 with a movement from an early Wind Sextet and extending as far as his last major vocal composition, Phaedra, written over forty-five years later. Two works receive their first recording.
