Based on Henry James’s strange and mysterious Gothic horror-style novel, the work incorporates Britten’s unique perspective and ideas. While considered a musical masterpiece, the complexity of the story—with its distinctive atmosphere—has made it difficult to stage or adapt for film; aside from a previous film version, until now, there has been only one live DVD of a stage production directed by Hampe.\nThis time, it is a “drama adaptation” produced by BBC Television, directed by television director Katie Mitchell.\nThe conductor is Hickox, who has been regularly recording Britten operas for the Chandos label. For Hickox, now regarded as a specialist in Britten’s operas, this marks his first recording of *The Turn of the Screw*. Also worth noting is the casting of Mark Padmore—who has previously distinguished himself in the early music field—as the Ghost Quint. It will be fascinating to see how he interprets this peculiar seducer, a role originally sung by the legendary Peter Pears at the premiere and more recently a specialty of Bostridge.\n・Britten (1913–1976): The Complete Opera *The Turn of the Screw*\nMark Padmore, Lisa Milne\nKatrin Wyn Davis\nDiana Montagu, Nicholas Kirby-Johnson\nCaroline Wise\nCity of London Sinfonia\nRichard Hickox (conductor)\nDirector: Katie Mitchell\n[Includes opera synopsis and cast gallery]\nProduced in 2004 by BBC Productions\nAspect Ratio: 16:9\nAudio: Linear PCM Stereo, Dolby Digital Surround\nRunning Time: 117 minutes\nSubtitles: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian\nSingle-sided, dual-layer disc\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Opus Arte","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53530754482465,"sku":"4945604909075","price":5690.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4945604909075.jpg?v=1789819029","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4945604909075","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
