Choral
Britten left a remarkable legacy of choral music: approachable, tonal, lyrical and pleasing to both performers and audience. The conductor Paul Spicer, who has recorded much of Britten's choral music, has written our new guide to this important aspect of the composer's repertoire. It includes performance tips, and grades each work by level of difficulty. ~ Text © courtesy of the Britten-Pears Foundation
