The medium of the orchestral song-cycle is one that much attracted Britten. His concept of an anthology of sometimes diverse texts, unified by a common literary or poetic theme was a favourite device to which he returned several times. The present recording features his two later and arguably best-known works in the genre, together with a major vocal work dating from the very last years of the composer's life.
