Britten: The Rape of Lucretia Op37; Phaedra Op93

Baker; English Chamber Orchestra; Bedford - Baker; Luxon; Pears; English Chamber Orchestra; Britten

"In combining on CD The Rape of Lucretia with Phaedra, Decca celebrates two outstanding performances by Dame Janet Baker, recorded at the peak of her career. Among other distinguished vocal contributions to the opera Peter Pears and Heather Harper stand out, while Benjamin Luxon makes selfish Tarquinius into a living character." (The Penguin Guide)
