The centrepiece of the programme is Britten's Serenade for Tenor Solo, Horn, and Strings, performed here with Laurence Kilsby (tenor) and Christopher Parkes (horn). This early masterpiece was composed in 1943 for Peter Pears and Denis Brain. Following the success of the première, the same soloists went on to record the work twice: once in 1944 with the composer conducting, and again in 1953 with the New Symphony Orchestra of London conducted by Eugene Goossens. Goossens also conducted the first recordings of works by Ireland (Mai-Dun) and Walton (Violin Concerto). Walton and Britten also became close friends, following the first Performance of Walton's The Bear at Britten's Aldeburgh Festival in 1967.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Classical, Orchestral, Vocal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Laurence Kilsby, Christopher Parkes, Sinfonia of London \u0026 John Wilson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59216329605451,"sku":"095115539224","price":23.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1014\/1299\/5403\/files\/britten-serenade-for-tenor-horn-strings-sacd-original.jpg?v=1794353325","url":"https:\/\/electronici.shop\/products\/britten-serenade-for-tenor-horn-strings-sacd","provider":"electronici.shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
