1.0 out of 5 stars Cannot stand listening to this performance, July 12, 2005
This review is from: The Fairy Queen/Dido And Aeneas (Audio CD)
Time passes fast, and 1970 is a prehistorical age for this kind of music.
I had the bad idea to buy this recording: Britten is directing this music disregarding his own annotations on the scores he adapted !! (I had to study them for a concert).
But worst, soloists are singing in a terrible "italian melodrammatic style" (as we say "with big potatoes in their mouth"). The chorus is too large, the tempo too slow, terribly slow. The brasses are untuned, the orchestra is not convincing at all.
Dido and Aeneas follows the same destiny.

Want to buy back my CDs :)?
