Britten:

Canticles I-V

The Heart of the Matter (including Canticle No. 3)


Jean Rigby (mezzo soprano), Derek Lee Ragin (alto), Philip Langridge (tenor), Gerald Finley (baritone), Frank Lloyd (horn), Osian Ellis (harp), Steuart Bedford (piano), Dame Judi Dench (narrator)

“As ever, Langridge’s declamation is spectacularly vivid. No detail of the vocal or verbal writing escapes him as he presents note and text as if new-minted. … It is as if composer and interpreter see to the heart of Sitwell’s and Eliot’s words respectively; in the third, Frank Lloyd’s evocative playing is a further asset. … Dame Judi Dench reads the texts with total conviction.” Gramophone on the original Collins Classics issue.
