Britten-Pears Orchestra - with Marin Alsop
Work:: Britten-Pears Orchestra (S01138969961)
Production:: with Marin Alsop (T1507925779)
New York-born conductor Marin Alsop has a remarkable ability to get the best out of people, from the world's leading professionals to the urban youth of Baltimore and outstanding young female conductors. Together, Alsop and the BPO perform two of the twentieth century's most popular works - Britten's great showpiece and Bart?k's synthesis of East European folk melody and rich orchestral textures, written in America while the composer languished in obscurity and frail health, his last completed work and a nostalgic love letter to his homeland.
