Five Poets
With Peggy Reynolds.
5: Auden. One of the most musical of English poets, WH Auden was singing excerpts from Tristan and Isolde at the age of six and writing poems for Lennox Berkeley to set to music while still in his teens. And
Berkeley was not the only composer to find inspiration in Auden's words: Britten, Bernstein, Stravinsky and John Dankworth are just a few of those who responded to his mix of irony, profundity and wit. Music includes excerpts from:
Berkeley Night Covers up the Rigid Land Philip Langridge (tenor), Stuart Bedford (piano) Britten Night Mail
Nigel Hawthorne (narrator),
Nash Ensemble , conductor Lionel Friend
Dankworth 0 Tell Me the Truth about
Love Cleo Laine , John Dankworth and Ensemble
Britten Ballad of Heroes
London Symphony Choir and Orchestra, conductor Richard Hickox
5: L'Apotheose de Lully
In the book of bizarre musical deaths, Lully's sets a real challenge. Beating time with a large conducting staff, he struck his toe; infection set in, and he was dead within two months. If that grim event has proved to be his lasting memorial for students, composers have acknowledged his accomplishments with greater kindness. Today, Robert King charts the legacy of Lully.
