The outstanding English composer working in the mid-20th century, Benjamin Britten won a significant international reputation, whilst remaining thoroughly English in inspiration. Britten’s compositions appeal to all ages, from the delightful Simple Symphony, composed for a school orchestra, and The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra written for an educational film, to the haunting Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings and the intense anti-war statement of his War Requiem |

| The Road to Paradise
Gabrieli Consort, Paul McCreesh A cappella choral music by English composers of the 16th is contrasted with works by 20th-century composers – this unique programme depicts the desire for spiritual enlightenment that was the driving force behind the medieval pilgrimage. In medieval times, making a pilgrimage to a holy place was the ambition of many Christians, for whom it was regarded as the symbolic enactment of a lifetime’s journey to a sacred resting place, undertaken through considerable physical effort. | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
