Benjamin Britten: Les Illuminations

[@donutchan8114]

I went to watch the planets awhile back and they had this as the headliner, finally got around to listening to this one again after it lives rent free in my mind for months

[@patrickbailet8574]

Oui, la force, la puissance de cette œuvre "Anglo-French" est parfaitement rendue ici avec des artistes en harmonie totale. Des violons debout, c'est beau !...Une très belle voix, forte et gracieuse à la fois. Mais les consonnes me manquent. Merci

Soprano and a string orchestra, Lovely. Benjamin Britten is underestimated.

[@klausmisch4988]

A wonderful composition and singing - and easily the best orchestra Ive heard - so expressive.

[@donkeychan491]

Love the writing for strings in this piece. Unlike anything else.

[@marcap1000]

Splendid! Beautiful and deeply moving. Bravo.

I always find this better suited to a woman’s voice (& sensibility), forgive me PPears. My favourite version (& voice) are those of Anne Catherine Gillet, but this woman is quite attractive. Her French is good & yes, it matters. Most of the strings’ accentuations are welcome, sometimes I like these even more pointed. Bravo!!

Wonderful performance - and great to watch them while performing so expressively.

KUDOS! Maximum delivery, in deed...

The list of players includes only one double bassist but there are actually two, one playing with a German bow and the other with a French bow.
