The works on this recording cover the entire span of Britten's published output - from the Simple Symphony of 1934, to the string orchestral arrangement of Lachrymae completed in the last year of his life. Britten always retained a special affection for his childhood efforts and in the Simple Symphony reworked his earliest compositions making them 'more fit for general consumption'. In contrast there is a special poignancy about the works of his final three years, composed after Britten's unsuccessful heart operation. In its earthy treatment of the folk-song material, the Suite on English Folk Tunes, his last purely orchestral work, is at the furthest remove from the sentimentality often associated with the English pastoral tradition.
Rezensionen
M. Kuhe in FonoForum 5/99: "Herausgekommen ist eine höchst instruktive, aber auch interpretatorisch rundweg gelungene Veröffentlichung, zumal die Northern Sinfonia mit bewundernswertem Einfühlungsvermögen den jeweils adäquaten Tonfall trifft. So gelingt durchweg die Balance zwischen schlanker Frische und einem sattem Ensembleklang."- Tracklisting
