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 is the first-ever audio-visual recording of Peter Grimes, Britten’s first great operatic success. The production was mounted by the celebrated Decca producer, John Culshaw, following his move to the BBC.
The 1969 studio colour film was staged by the great British soprano, Joan Cross. Cross was closely associated with the operas of Britten and had created the role of Ellen Orford at the premiere of Peter Grimes in 1945.
The fabulous cast of British opera greats from the period includes Heather Harper as Ellen Orford, Elizabeth Bainbridge and Robert Tear.
