Britten: Les Illuminations; Simple Symphony; Frank Bridge Variations (2004)

These are truly lovely and profoundly moving performances of three of Britten's most directly appealing orchestral works. For fans of a cooler and austere approach to the English post-modernist's music, Roman Kofman and the Kiev Chamber Orchestra may be too ardently emotional, too lushly colored, and too warmly toned. But for listeners who have always wanted to relax and simply enjoy Britten's music, this disc will be ideal. The Simple Symphony is pure and open-hearted with a Sentimental Sarabande of surpassing soulfulness. The Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge is lightly ironic and deeply affectionate with a Funeral March that has it both ways at once. The Les Illuminations with soprano Franziska Hirzel is luminously beautiful, sensuously decadent, and unbearably attractive.Musikproduktion Dabringhaus und Grimm multi-channel recording is as clear and real as its two-channel recordings, which is to say, as close to audio perfection as has yet been achieved. ~ James Leonard, Rovi Read Less
