Britten, the musical genius of the 20th century, met Auden through their shared work as a poet and filmmaker, and, inspired by his exceptional intellect, went on to compose numerous outstanding vocal works. From the song cycle *In This Island Nation*—the first collection of songs Britten published—to a series of cabaret songs that were not published until after the composer’s death (which are not merely lighthearted and fun, but incredibly artistic— No. 22 is a must-listen), this collection is a microcosm of music that testifies to the happy collaboration between the two. Berkeley, who was a close friend of Britten’s, was also captivated by Auden and left behind a body of art songs that are delicate and rich in imagination. A reissue on the Collins label.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Naxos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53595551826209,"sku":"4945604572040","price":2690.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4945604572040.jpg?v=1790481605","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4945604572040","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
