Britten: Phaedra, Op. 93
Britten: The Rape of Lucretia - Phaedra
Rome is now ruled by the Etruscan upstart
It is an axiom among kings
Who reaches heaven first
Maria was unmasked at a masked ball
Collatinus is politically astute
My horse! My horse! tarquinius does not wait
Their spinning-wheel unwinds
Listen! I heard a knock
Time treads upon the hands of women
The oatmeal slippers of sleep
The prosperity of the Etruscans
Elizabeth Bainbridge, Sir Peter Pears, Bryan Drake, Benjamin Britten, Heather Harper, Jenny Hill, English Chamber Orchestra, John Shirley-Quirk
Within this frail crucible of light
Lucretia!.What do you want?
Interlude: Here in this scene
Oh! What a lovely day!
Benjamin Britten, Elizabeth Bainbridge, English Chamber Orchestra, Jenny Hill
We'll leave the orchids for Lucretia
Flowers bring to every year
You were right
Bryan Drake, Benjamin Britten, Elizabeth Bainbridge, Jenny Hill, English Chamber Orchestra, John Shirley-Quirk
Lucretia! Lucretia!
Last night Tarquinius ravished me
This dead hand lets fall
Elizabeth Bainbridge, English Chamber Orchestra, Sir Peter Pears, Jenny Hill, Bryan Drake, Benjamin Britten, Heather Harper, John Shirley-Quirk
