Description

Title: Britten: Les Illuminations Serenade Nocturne
Artist: Staples, Andrew
Label: Harmonia Mundi
Product Type: COMPACT DISCS
UPC: 3149020944615
Genre: Classical Artists

In these three song cycles, Britten draws his inspiration from the peaks of European poetry (Shakespeare, Blake, Shelley, Keats, but also Rimbaud), the better to push back the boundaries of the genre. He multiplies the relationship between voices and instruments, moving from strings alone (Les Illuminations) to a string ensemble featuring obbligato wind instruments, harp and timpani (Nocturne), not forgetting the fascinating dialogue with the horn in the Serenade. A unique sound world is revealed here by artists at the top of their form.
