Product Description

The recorded legacy of the great English tenor Peter Pears is substantial and wide-ranging. It embraces Baroque repertory and Elizabethan songs as well as a vast amount of twentieth-century English music and German Lieder This anniversary collection features Pears in a wide selection of this repertory and it also charts his career as a recording artist from landmark recordings such as the first recording of Britten's Serenade for tenor, horn and strings (made in 1944) through to Britten's Canticle V The Death of St Narcissus (composed in 1974), recorded near the end of his career in 1976. This box set includes many recordings appearing on CD for the first time as international releases.

ちょっと記憶違いかも知れませんが、大阪万博の70年に、ピアーズは大阪で聴きました。確かイギリス室内オケの伴奏。曲はブリテンかなんかでした。その時は既に晩年で、声量がやや衰えてました。でも、透き通った音色は筆舌に尽くし難く、これが本当のテナーなんだと感じた次第。久しぶりに聴きたくなりました。
