The Britten violin concerto is a masterpiece. For me it is finer then either the two each of Prokofiev and Shostakovich; a personal opinion of course. As already mentioned Britten was popular behind the old "Iron Curtain". The finest recording of the Britten VC is by Nora Grumlikova with Peter Maag conducting the Prague SO on Supraphon. A recording (LP) I treasure.

- Interesting about the VC: after all these years, I simply can't lock-on to one measure of it. - jdaniel@jps.net 21:33:00 07/26/15 (0)
