Britten: The Red Cockatoo, The Holy Sonnets of John Donne and Other Songs

Fourteen of the songs on this major release are recorded for the first time. The inspiration for the Holy Sonnets was a harrowing trip paid by Britten and Yehudi Menuhin to Belsen at the end of the war, while the songs from the collection The Red Cockatoo and other songs respond to a wide variety of more homely influences.
