Description
This collection of works for string orchestra combines two of Britten's first master-pieces, Simple Symphony and the Frank Bridge Variations, with the even earlier Elegy for Strings - recorded here for the first time - and Two Portraits, composed between the ages of 14-16.Camerata Nordica performs this programme with an engaging directness and striking virtuosity - qualities which no doubt contributed to the team being entrusted by the Britten-Pears Foundation to make the world première recording of the Elegy, as well as giving its first public performance on the 31st August as part of the 2013 Proms.
