Hintergrund
These three realizations were made for performances given by Britten and Pears on their celebrated tour to Russia in 1963. Originally intended to constitute part of a second and longer suite of songs from Orpheus Britannicus, which Britten never completed, these songs nonetheless work extremely well as a set, full of the mastery that marks all of Britten’s excursions into the music of a composer he greatly admired.
