-- I do often like Britten's non-vocal music. These quartets are excellent - Shostyesque!

-- I tried this (again) - great until the vocals start - the way Britten gets the soloists to sing in a weird declamatory style is a big turn-off for me - makes my skin crawl.
I gave up after less than 10 minutes - it's now up for sale on eBay! Sometimes you just have to say 'enough' !! :D

.... ahhh, that's more like it. My Britten's Requiem-tortured soul is healed by Beethoven. :)

I love the Mozart Wind Serenade (K361) - I have the very same BBC Music Magazine 'freebie' (and paid the same as you! :lol:)Quote:

So the way I see it is that it is music, then poetry, then music etc. Still I can see why you needed relief :->Quote:
