Product Description
It was on returning from a tour of the German concentration camps with Yehudi Menuhin, in 1945, that Benjamin Britten finally realized his long-cherished project of setting to music the Holy Sonnets of John Donne. Britten succeeded admirably in conveying their skillful blend of passion and intellectual rigor. Acclaimed British tenor Mark Padmore is sensitively partnered by Roger Vignoles at the piano in this generous program, which also includes Winter Words, set to the poetry of Thomas Hardy
