Requiem as a very fine piece and am still enthralled by it, but Britten is much more than the War Requiem. I have only ... more ... recently started to get into Opera and I found myself almost as astonished when I started to get into Peter Grimes. I expected it to be good. But it is more than that. It deserves a far greater reputation than the one it possesses. OK, the libretto has its unevennesses, but the music is ravishing (the sea interludes are often used as backing for movies, adverts, etc) - and the libretto has its high points as well. It is a bona fide tragedy centred on the somewhat unsympathetic figure of Grimes, the fisherman, whose real v...more |

Throughout the history of Western art music there have been very few English composers who have managed to hold a place on the world stage. Purcell, possibly Holst and Birtwistle.
