Synopsis

Album Description

Live recording of a performance given by the English Opera Group, conducted by the composer, in Copenhagen's Theatre Royal on September 15, 1949. It is a fascinating document, coming only two years after the first performance of the opera and with no less than eleven members of the original cast still in the team. This is a wonderful survivor and one of the earliest recorded examples of Britten and the English Opera Group in performance.
