- Songs aus Harmonia Sacra & Orpheus Britannicus für Gesang & Klavier
Es ist vor allen Dingen die im wesentlichen melodische Natur der Interpretationen, die am meisten beeindruckt; es ist die Art und Weise, wie Britten schlichte Figuren entwickelt, die sich nach einem Motiv von Purcell richten und einen herrlichen Kontrapunkt zur Vokalführung bilden, oder die Art, wie er keck gesangliche Figuren nachahmt oder harmonische Wunderlichkeiten zeigt. Diese Lieder beweisen nicht nur Brittens Einfallsreichtum, sondern auch seine Freude und sein reines Vergnügen an der Aufgabe, solch erlesene Kleinodien zu interpretieren.
Above all, it is the essentially melodic nature of the realizations that most impresses; the way in which Britten constructs artless figures which take their cue from a Purcell motif and which form a delicious counterpoint to the vocal line, or the way in which he cheekily imitates vocal figures or points harmonic quirks. These songs demonstrate not just Britten’s inventiveness but also his delight and sheer joy in the task of realizing such exquisite gems.
'Altogether a marvellous treat - Another Hyperion triumph' (Classic CD)
'Two irresistible discs - typically painstakingly produced and documented - and would deserve four stars if only they were there to give' (The Times)
'A feast' (Sunday Times)
'The performances (and the music) are lovely, with a first-class lineup of British singers specialising in Britten's msuic. This one is difficult to pass up' (American Record Guide)
