New PETER PEARS Anniversary Tribute box on Decca
Decca 478 2345 Peter Pears 6CD due 17/5 £22.95
This anniversary collection features Pears in a wide selection of repertoire and it also charts his career as a recording artist from landmark
recordings such as the first recording of Britten's Serenade for tenor, horn and strings (made in 1944) through to Britten's Canticle V The Death of St
Narcissus (composed in 1974), recorded near the end of his career in 1976.
Many recordings included here appear on CD for the first time as international releases. Performances of Vaughan Williams’ On Wenlock Edge,
and of Tippett’s Songs for Ariel, are of special interest, and in a different vein, Pears sings Lutoslawski’s Paroles tissées, which he commissioned.
A true rarity is the first ever release of Schubert's Ganymed.
