Britten's "Gloriana"
I feel that it is certainly time for a recording of Britten's Gloriana. After some twenty-two years since composition, and taking into consideration the fact that every other single opera by the composer has been recorded, perhaps there is some explanation as to why this surely most colourful, and I believe most well written, of Britten's operas has been neglected for so long. I recall last year reading in your pages of an intended recording with Janet Baker as Elizabeth. Has this been postponed or are we to expect a recording before too long?
