Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Gramophone called it "one of the classics of the gramophone era", and who could argue with that? Thirty years ago I almost wore out the vinyl version of this recording, and this remarkable interpretation carries just as much weight today. Peter Pears' unique voice always had its detractors, but it would be difficult not to respond to his heartfelt telling of this tragic story: the lovelorn young man walking out from his beloved's town and into a wintry oblivion. Just as remarkable is the piano accompaniment by Benjamin Britten, warmly pedalled and capturing the spirit of the music with such intelligence and sensitivity. You get the impression of a man with musicality just bursting out of him. And while the performances are as fresh as when they were recorded, the Decca recorded sound, digitally remastered here, also retains its immediacy. One point however, is that the back of the booklet suggests you get Schumann's Dichterliebe too, as on the original LP release--you don't. But a considerable bonus is an article by one of today's top accompanists and champions of song, Graham Johnson, who sums up eloquently what it is that makes this recording so very special. --Keith Clarke
