Britten, Benjamin : Suite on English Folk Tunes

£19.99

Britten’s last orchestral work, lasting 14 minutes and “lovingly and reverently” dedicated to Percy Grainger takes as it starting point fragments of tunes from Playford’s “The English Dancing Master” of 1650. It ends with a moving elegy incorporating the folk song Lord Melbourne on a lone cor anglais.
