Digital Booklet
|
"Five Stars ... (Oke's) is a strong, ballasted performance ... deeply moving in its simple strength and keen imagination ... there's much to relish throughout this handpicked cast."
- BBC Music Magazine
"The mix here is imperceptible and the sound unobtrusive; (the) engineer deserves a credit twice the size and conductor Steuart Bedford pulls off an extraordinary feat of coherence and endurance. There used to be two great Grimes on record: Peter Pears and Jon Vickers. Now there are three."
- Sinfini Music
Steuart Bedford leads a vast and accomplished ensemble on this live recording of Britten’s powerful and masterful evocation of the North Sea in all its moods.
