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.
These are previously unavailable recordings of live concert performances. The recording of the Double Concerto is rare - the piece was only premiered in 1997. This is Sally Matthews’ first recording solo with orchestra.
Press acclaim from the concerts:
‘Pieter Schoeman and Alexander Zemtsov proved ideal advocates for this ambitious work [Britten’s Double Concerto for Violin and Viola]... Jurowski showed himself adept at mastering the Britten sound-world.’ - The Daily Telegraph, December 2006
