By P. A. Murphy VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
Nearly all the pieces contained on this disc feature Britten himself, either conducting or in some other performing/ supervisory capacity. In addition, Decca producer John Culshaw's far-sightedness in recording works in stereo way back in the early 1950s means the label possesses a formidable array of gorgeously preserved and authoritative readings of Britten pieces, many of which have been cherry-picked to form this delightful entry into his world. Two popular orchestral pieces, The Young Person's Guide... and Simple Symphony, are included in their entirety (in what can for once be described in that oft-misused term, as 'definitive' recordings) and there are good, representative excerpts from several Britten operas, folksong arrangements and - of course - choral pieces. If you are interested in a good, inexpensive and credible sample of Britten, then you need look no further than this.

Bought this to use in school for "Composer of the Week". Very good selection of excerpts showing the diversity of his compositions.Includes his "Young Person's Guide" and "Simple Symphony" in full, just what I needed.
