MARBECKS COLLECTABLE: Britten: A Midsummer Night's Dream (Complete opera recorded in 1967)

"The beauty of the instrumental writing comes out in this recording even more than in the opera house, for John Culshaw, the recording manager, put an extra halo around the fairy music to act as a substitute for visual atmosphere. Britten again proves himself an ideal interpreter of his own music."
