Our Take

The legendary Benjamin Britten may have passed on, but his influence still reverberates through the classical music scene. And what better way to experience his genius than through his own conducting on the aptly titled "Britten Conducts Britten" album.

From the moment the needle hits the vinyl, Britten's precise and dynamic interpretation of his own works transports you to another world. The opening track, "Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge," is a whirlwind of emotion and technical mastery that leaves you breathless.

But it's not just Britten's conducting that shines on this album. His compositions, such as the hauntingly beautiful "Four Sea Interludes" from "Peter Grimes," demonstrate his ability to capture the essence of the sea in music - making you feel like you're standing on the shore, feeling the spray on your face.

Throughout the album, Britten's attention to detail and nuanced phrasing elevate each piece to new heights. Whether it's the playful energy of "The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra" or the somber beauty of "Serenade for Tenor, Horn, and Strings," Britten's conducting brings out the best in his own music.

"Britten Conducts Britten" is a must-listen for any classical music enthusiast. It's a masterclass in interpretation and a testament to the enduring legacy of one of the greats. Trust us, you'll want to conductor own personal listening session with this gem in your collection.
