5.0 out of 5 stars The essential recording, 25 Feb 2009
This has to be the essential recording. Given you have to put up with the ropey sound quality. It sounds as if it were mastered on scratched vinyl but then the recordings are old: "Serenade" was recorded in 1944, "Michelangelo Sonnets" and "Winter Words" in 1954. The defects somehow add to the overall effect. More recent recordings don't have the same emotional power. Here you have Peter Pears and Dennis Brain conducted by Britten himself. Unfortunately copies are getting increasingly rare hence the soaring price. However, if you love Britten this is recording is the one you should not live without.
