About this item

Ian Bostridge has continued to be a success in performing ever since his operatic debut in 1994. Collaborating with orchestras such as Berlin Philharmonic, Vienna Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony, BBC Symphony, New York Philharmonic and Los Angeles Philharmonic, he has proved to be a shining star in opera. In his latest release, he takes part in Britten s The Rape of Lucretia, a dark opera in which a woman named Lucretia commits suicide after being raped. This powerful performance sheds light on a unique plot and intense sub-plot that is not short of passion or danger. Benjamin Britten s chamber opera The Rape of Lucretia was given its premiere at the Glyndebourne Festival in 1946. This intense revival displays excellent talent by Ian Bostridge, Angelika Kirchschlager, Susan Gritton, Christopher Purves, Benjamin Russell, Peter Coleman-Wright, Hilary Summers Bianca, Claire Booth Aldeburgh Festival Ensemble, and features conductor Oliver Knussen. The Guardian felt that this performance succeeded in making music, Britten's richest ... the orchestra, reveling in its extraordinary palette of colors, and showing how the score so often hangs like gossamer off the vocal lines. This opera portrays all of the drama, passion, and beauty throughout the world of opera.
