BaL 4.06.22 - Britten: Four Sea Interludes (from "Peter Grimes")

[Barbirollians]

The Britten recording even though extracted from the complete opera is outstanding and pretty much unsurpassable IMO.

If you mean the Sea Interludes I agree wholeheartedly.

Probably not enough versions to warrant it, but let's do a Summer BaL of our own if you want to suggest it.

Looks like only five recordings (surely there are some videos of opera productions too?):
Britten
Britten (Aldeburgh premiere, on Testament)
Colin Davis
Hickox
Volkov

The Volkov is on sale at the Glyndebourne shop for £5 (p&p is 3.95, so better find a few other bargains to make it worthwhile!)

The DVD of the Peter Hall production at Glyndebourne, conducted by Haitink and with James Bowman and Ileana Cotrubas, is wonderful, although sadly appears to be NLA.

There is also a DVD recording of a production from Barcelona conducted by Harry Bickett with David Daniels, but I don’t recall having seen this one. That appears to be it for filmed productions.
