 Conductor Tom Appleton discusses Britten's Hymn To The Virgin at BrittenPears Arts. This website is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the work of Benjamin Britten, and has a section Work of the Week which has a series of short films offering insights into a range of Britten’s compositions.

 A Hymn To The Virgin is one of Britten's most accessible pieces, written at age 16 while recovering in the school infirmary, and revised for performance four years later.
Again Christopher Robinson brings this off to perfection.

Rejoice In The Lamb must be one of Britten's least accessible works: it conveyed little to me until I had occasion to sing in the Chorus, whereupon it leapt to life, revealing the confused, intelligent, excited but fearful mind of Christopher Smart who wrote the work as a poem while he was confined in St Luke's Hospital for Lunatics between 1757 and 1763.

Britten's reading of this troubled mind transcends mere stereotype, as though he had known someone go through a manic episode in the way that Smart had

Robinson is directing a traditional Men and Boys Cathedral Choir here, and the clarity of diction is impeccable. The fast pace and the choir composition suit my own understanding of the piece and Rejoice In The Lamb is recorded in full
