If you enjoyed the Britten songs you heard and want to sample more of his vocal compositions, the first choice is "choral" or "single voice" songs. If you enjoy choral, I would recommend any of the following as good entry points to Britten's work:
Ceremony of Carols (Willcocks/ChoirKingsCollege)
Rejoice in the Lamb (Britten/Purcell Singers)
Missa Brevis (Guest/ChoirStJohn'sCollegeCambridge or Willcocks/ChoirKingsCollege)
Hymn to St. Cecilia (Willcocks/ChoirKingsCollege)
If you want to stay with songs, then you might consider any of the following as a starting point:
Sacred & Profane - Eight Medieval Lyrics (Wilbye Consort/Pears)
Seven Sonnets of Michelangelo (Britten -pf, Pears -ten)
Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings (Britten/ECO, Pears -ten, Tuckwell -hn)
Canticles I-V (Britten -pf, Pears -ten)
The performances I've suggested are simply that: suggestions for performances of these works that I like.
Enjoy!
