Description
Release Date: 03 January 2006
This specially-staged studio recording of the English National Opera's highly-acclaimed production of Benjamin Britten's Work features outstanding performances by Jean Rigby as Lucretia and Richard Van Allan as Collatinus, with Anthony Rolfe Johnson and Kathryn Harries sing the Male and Female Chorus.
With its bare scrubbed boards, its sliding screens - against which the characters sometimes appear in silhouette - and its high-railed gantry from which the Chorus observe, both Graham Vick's staging and Russell Craig's severe designs have a cool, elegant simplicity.
This ascetic production tellingly matches the austere restraint of Britten's first chamber opera, scored with sparse texture for a mere twelve instruments, a limitation over which Britten triumphed to produce music of deeply moving intensity.
This innovative production is a fine example of the exciting and imaginative work that is characteristic of the English National Opera.
