        AH... Wherefore did you so, as a matter of interest? It was rather more coherent to have 3 Britten-related 'Olivers', no?

          I cannot explain my incoherent actions m'lud, except that it was set at half past midnight when my brain cells were befuddled.

            Not if you like Britten as much as I do - surprise I bothered!

              I think I'm getting my knickers alliver twist, but what has Dickens' protagonist got to do with Britten? (And who is "Arthur" in 28007??)

                Don't get the connection between that and the previous comment! No matter, just... puzzled!

                    The Britten connection was between two of the Os... not young Master Twist, I think.

                      Cali - just that apart from some of his excellent orchestral works and bits like Sea Interludes I am not a big fan of Britten - going back to the Shotakovich 4 thread I could say I've never really 'got' War Requiem or his operas and when it comes to Spring Symphony and Midsummer Night's Dream give me Schumann and Mendelssohn every time. There is also the Marmite factor over Peter Pears voice which many Britten works are built around - I find his tone with excessive vibrato not to my liking.

                        It was I who had the knickers twisted. Posting #28007 duly corrected.

                            I was curious to find that the Sea Interludes were paired on disc with Shosty 4 by Previn with the Chicago SO. They seem strange bedfellows.

                              I would certainly not suggest that with the excellent ones we have here -vat free thanks to our battle.

                                Well I suppose it's all good Previn - great value for money - bu I think I'd have placed the Britten first on the disc.
