 Great Britten! at an incredibly low low price
By J. Faulk
At this writing, BEGGAR’S OPERA (1963) and OWEN WINGRAVE (1971) are not available separately, What’s more, the six items would cost $170! In this collection, Britten sometimes conducts or plays the piano. Pears sings in five of the performances. Each DVD case includes a 28-page booklet in English, French, and German.

Yes, It Is a Great Bargain …
By Giordano Bruno
… unless of course you have no interest in modern opera, or the music of Benjamin Britten, or the historical development of filmed opera for TV. In that case, you can safely ignore even the finest bargain.
If you are a confirmed fan of the music of Benjamin Britten, obviously what you need to know is that the sound quality is excellent on all six DVDs. I’ve reviewed all of them separately, so I won’t rehash my critiques. The performances of “Peter Grimes” and “The Beggar’s Opera” are superb on every level; to my eyes and ears, the others are less satisfactory, though insightful critics have had high praise for this film of “Billy Budd.”
