Rostovovich's cello Britten conducts the British Chamber Orchestra.
Cello symphony, written in 1963, dedicated to Rostovovich. It was originally planned that 1963 would premiere in Audebourg, but it was suspended due to the sudden illness in Rostovovich. It was not until March 1964 that Britten personally conducted the premiere in Moscow. The work is divided into four movements: one is solemn allegro; Second, anxious board of directors; Third, adagio; Four. Andante. This CD, co-recorded by Rostovovich and Britten himself, is recognized as an authoritative version and was rated as the best music collection in the 20th century. The CD also includes Haydn's cello concerto. In addition, another recording by Rostovovich and Britten conducted by the British Chamber Orchestra is also very good and worth listening to.
Spring symphony
Britten conducted the London Symphony Orchestra and Choir.
The Spring Symphony (for solo, mixed chorus, children's chorus and band) was written in 1949, based on the poems about spring written by 13 poets: herrick, Auden, Barnfield, Pierre, Blake, Beaumont, Fletcher, Nash and Voss. This work premiered in Amsterdam on 1949. In addition, Britten's "College Chorus" and "Poems of St. Chilia" were also included in the CD, which was rated as a three-star business card with flowers by Penguin Record Guide.
A guide to youth orchestral music
Britten conducts the London Symphony Orchestra.
In the past 100 years, three composers have made great contributions to the popularity of symphonic music: one is Animal Carnival written by Saint Sang; Second, prokofiev wrote Peter and the Wolf. Third, Britten was entrusted by the British Ministry of Education to write this "guide" for young people to introduce orchestras. Britten's orchestral music was originally designed to introduce the sounds of various parts and groups of the symphony orchestra. However, many conductors pay too much attention to local expression when interpreting this work, which makes the whole work lose its organic internal connection. Although the passage is wonderful, the whole music is incomplete. Britten himself made a comprehensive plan and proper arrangements in this work. The musical expression of any sound is under the overall macro control. In the variation of 13, he never emphasized local details, but firmly grasped the presentation of Poucel's theme at the beginning and the reinforcement and reappearance of Poucel's theme at the end of the music, and emphasized the echo and organic combination from beginning to end, making the performance of music perfect and concise. As a result, Britten's Guide to Youth Orchestra, which was personally directed, processed and created, became a magnificent version that all conductors except himself could not reach and match. This record also includes his simple symphonies and other works.
War Requiem
Vicnevskaya, Pierce, Fischer Dieskau, etc.
Britten conducted the London Symphony Orchestra and Choir.
Requiem for War is Britten's most famous work. It was written in 1962 for Coventry Cathedral, which was rebuilt after the destruction of World War II. The lyrics adopt the poems of the English poet Owen and the traditional requiem lyrics. It is divided into two parts: one is the Latin requiem mass; Second, Owen's war poems. At the head of this work, Britten has this inscription: "My poem is about war and compassion for war, and it is an elegy to arouse the vigilance of the world." This record is the most authoritative version of this song, because this work Britten is a solo for Galina Vishnevskaya, Pierce and Fisher-Dieskau, and these names are the original people who first broadcast this song. With such a gathering of famous artists, Deka Company made great efforts in recording production, which matched the recording production with singing and performance and reached its peak. This set of records (a set of two) can be described as a wonderful work in the history of records, and it was rated as a three-star business card with flowers by Penguin Record Guide. In addition, the versions sung by Destorme, Thiel, Allen, Children's Choir of Oxford Christian Cathedral, Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and Choir, and the version conducted by rattle are also very good and worth listening to.
Noah's ark
Ma Yong conducts the British Opera Orchestra.
The script is taken from the one-act play Noah's Ark of Chester's miracle play, which describes the story of Noah's flood. It premiered in alford Church on 1958. First used for church performances, then used for independent performances. The children's songs are fresh and moving, and the recording in the studio is deep and wide. If you listen carefully, you can distinguish the different positions of performers (God, Noah and children) on the stage and their subtle movements. This CD was rated as the best business card by TAS of America. It is also the masterpiece of the famous sound recorder Kenneth Wilkinson. Later, it was re-made into a CD by Deka. His major works include: the opera Peter Bunyan, Requiem for Chorus and Band, Variations-fugue, Guide to Youth Orchestra, Spring Symphony, Cello Symphony and Minor Symphony. He also wrote many concertos, duets, solos, solos, children's operas and China's songs (lyrics
