In Britten’s luminous and compelling interpretation of Thomas Mann’s classic novella, the ageing writer Gustav von Aschenbach’s infatuation with the Polish boy Tadzio and his subsequent decline are portrayed in a ‘remarkable and harrowingly believable’ performance ( The Guardian ) by John Graham-Hall, who had already won golden opinions for singing the role of Aschenbach at La Scala. The superb ENO chorus and orchestra are conducted by Edward Gardner, a long-standing champion of Britten’s music. - Deborah Warner's universally acclaimed 2007 production , recorded live by Sky TV at ENO in 2013 . - Britten's final masterpiece, based on the famous Thomas Mann novella. - Stunning central performance by John Graham -Hall as Aschenbac h. What the press said: ‘‘ ... the glory of this unmissable ENO revival is that the honours are so obviously shared, and not even John Graham-Hall's remarkable Aschenbach manages to eclipse Edward Gardner's exemplary conducting, let alone Deborah Warner's compelling staging – worth the price of admission alone. ’’ The Guardian ‘‘ ENO’s new music director Edward Gardner makes a welcome arrival at the Coliseum for this production of Britten’s final opera. His reading combines finesse and nuance with dynamism, and makes for a magical performance of the score. All in all a great night for ENO, and for Britten. ’’ The Stage Related product: THE RAPE OF LUCRETIA (ENO) OABD7135D/ OA1123D GLORIANA (ROH) OA1124D/ OABD7134D PETER GRIMES (Glyndebourne) OA1103D/ OABD7119D .
