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
Benjamin Britten, Heather Harper, Sir Peter Pears, Bryan Drake, Elizabeth Bainbridge, English Chamber Orchestra, Jenny Hill, John Shirley-Quirk
Within this frail crucible of light
Lucretia!.What do you want?
Interlude: Here in this scene
Oh! What a lovely day!
English Chamber Orchestra, Benjamin Britten, Elizabeth Bainbridge, Jenny Hill
We'll leave the orchids for Lucretia
Flowers bring to every year
You were right
Elizabeth Bainbridge, Bryan Drake, English Chamber Orchestra, Benjamin Britten, Jenny Hill, John Shirley-Quirk
Lucretia! Lucretia!
Last night Tarquinius ravished me
This dead hand lets fall
Elizabeth Bainbridge, Bryan Drake, Sir Peter Pears, Benjamin Britten, Heather Harper, English Chamber Orchestra, Jenny Hill, John Shirley-Quirk
