The album Prelude Fugue Simple Symphony Lachrymae Chacony by Britten, Henry Purcell, The London Chamber Orchestra, Christopher WarrenGreen is a beautiful and captivating collection of classical music. The London Chamber Orchestra's performance is exceptional, with Christopher WarrenGreen conducting with precision and passion.

The album features a variety of works by Britten and Purcell, including the Prelude and Fugue for 18 strings, Simple Symphony, Lachrymae, and Chacony. Each piece is unique and showcases the composer's individual style and talent.

The Prelude and Fugue for 18 strings is a complex and intricate piece that highlights the skill of the London Chamber Orchestra. The Simple Symphony is a delightful and charming work that is sure to please listeners of all ages. Lachrymae is a hauntingly beautiful piece that showcases the emotional depth and range of the orchestra. The Chacony is a powerful and moving piece that leaves a lasting impression on the listener.

About Britten, Henry Purcell, The London Chamber Orchestra, Christopher WarrenGreen

British composer, conductor, and pianist. Born: November 22, 1913, in Lowestoft, UK - died: December 04, 1976, in Aldeburgh, UK. He showed talent from an early age, and first came to public attention with the a cappella choral work A Boy Was Born in 1934. With the premiere of his opera Peter Grimes in 1945, he leapt to international fame. For the next fifteen years he devoted much of his compositional attention to writing operas, establishing him as one of the leading 20th century figures in this genre. Britten's interests as a composer were wide-ranging; he produced important music in such varied genres as orchestral, choral, solo vocal (much of it written for the tenor Peter Pears), chamber and instrumental, as well as film music. He also took a great interest in writing music for children and amateur performers, and was a fine pianist and conductor. One of Britten's most important works, The War Requiem was completed 20 December 1961, and first performed 30 May 1962. Britten received many prizes and honors, including becoming a Companion of Honour in 1952, and a member of the Order of Merit in 1965.
