Benjamin Britten Songs


Britten seemed to be a prolific artist and I'm a little intimidated as to the vast output to select from. I heard some songs on NPR which I liked. Can anyone pont me in the right direction insofar as recommendations?

Or you could just get Peter Grimes! It's a great work, easily available and on the used vinyl market for no more than a dollar or two. I got to hear Simon Rattle conduct it live with the Berlin Phil in April! What an experience.

Rushton: are the songs you're talking about stand alone pieces, or part of a larger liturgical work? Or are they the larger works? I've never heard of them.
