A very beautiful choral work by B. Britten, and a perfect i think performance by:
Wandsworth School Boys Choir, Merlin Channon,
English Opera Group Orchestra,
Norman del Mar,
Benjamin Britten (himself).
.
This song is included in the great DECCA recordings of Britten's operatic and choral works.
A wonderful collection of CD's with great artists. Beautiful music and singing. Check for example the "Death in Venice" with the great Peter Pears.
