- Synopsis:
- Late in 1945, Basil Wright and the Crown Film Unit commissioned from Benjamin Britten the soundtrack for film they were planning to be called 'Instruments of the Orchestra', which was to be part of a new post Second World War. Included in this release is a CD of the first ever recording in October 1946 with Sargent and the Liverpool Philarmonic; The London Symphony was apparently 'unavailable'. Britten's own 1963 recording, once again with the London Symphony Ochestra- The Fugue of which I used in my 1967 film Britten and His Festival- remains the definitive account of this prodigious work'.
