Synopsis

Product Description
On this release Jurowski conducts live recordings of
three of Benjamin Britten's early works. Written just
before his published Opus 1, the Double Concerto for
Violin and Viola was never performed during Britten's
lifetime, but already demonstrates his mature style. The
memorable way that the string orchestra depicts different
characteristics of Britten's composition teacher in the
Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge led it to become
Britten's first popular classic. Les Illuminations sets
Rimbaud's poetry in vividly realised musical images,
making it the crowning masterpiece of Britten's early
years.
