It embraces Baroque repertory and Elizabethan songs as well as a vast amount of twentieth-century English music and German Lieder This anniversary collection features Pears in a wide selection of this repertory 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. This box set includes many recordings appearing on CD for the first time as international releases.
