The “English Folk Song Suite” is Britten’s final orchestral work, and Bedford, the conductor on this recording, was its premiere performer. Of the two world premiere recordings included here, “Temporal Variations” was first performed in a version for oboe and piano before being shelved, only to be published after the composer’s death. This recording presents the orchestral arrangement. The fine art song “Lullaby Amulet” is also presented here with an orchestral accompaniment. A reissue from the Collins label.\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Naxos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53595551236385,"sku":"4945604572057","price":2690.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4945604572057.jpg?v=1790481602","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4945604572057","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
