BRITTEN, B.: Folk Song Arrangements, Vol. 1 (English Song, Vol. 10) (Lott, Langridge, G. Johnson, Bonell)

Benjamin Britten was throughout his life drawn to folk-song, possessing a special gift for word-setting and vocal writing. This release and its companion (Naxos 8.557222), previously available on Collins Classics, present all the known folk-songs, in both their piano and orchestral arrangements, along with the volumes for guitar and harp. The three discs include 10 world première recordings of folksong arrangements published as recently as 2001.
