CD Reviews

Brilliant variations on traditional folksongs

02/21/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Britten's arrangements of traditional folksongs are tremendous. His signature harmonies are underneath the traditional tunes in wonderful ways, with the piano going in unexpected places all the time. Pears was his long-time collaborator and brings his piercing understanding to what Britten was doing. This is not for someone looking for traditional folksongs, but for fans of the brilliant Britten."
