Britten - Billy Budd (Britten-Pears Collection)

Description


The Britten-Pears DVD Collection features four historically and musically significant films from the BBC archives of works and performances by Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears, one of the greatest English tenors and Britten’s long-term partner and artistic inspiration. None of the films have been available before on any home video format.

This black and white remake of the original BBC 1966 recording is the first film of any Britten opera. It is also the only film recording of ‘Billy Budd’ featuring the great Peter Pears as Captain Vere.

The cast contains a host of distinguished names with the young Peter Glossop as the hapless sailor Billy, and John Shirley-Quirk, Robert Tear and Benjamin Luxon. The recording was conducted by Charles Mackerras.
