This performance is a revelation. Philip Reed, in his authoritative note, points out that, unbeknown to many, Britten and Giulini had a mutual respect for and an admiration of each other’s work. Here they combine to give a performance that is a true Legend, as this BBC series has it. Giulini’s reading is as dramatic and viscerally exciting as any I have heard. The music leaps from the page new-minted in his thoroughgoing, histrionically taut hands, the rhythmic tension at times quite astonishing. For instance, the sixth movement, ‘Libera me’, is simply earth-shattering in its effect, every bar, every word, every instrument sung and played to the hilt – and so it is throughout, with the live occasion added to the peculiar, and in this case peculiarly right, acoustics of the Albert Hall adding its own measure of verite to the inspired occasion.
The performance of the New Philharmonia forces, under the man who was at the time their favourite conductor after Klemperer, is at once technically assured and wholly dedicated. Only perhaps the classic Decca recording comes near equalling it in this respect, and that doesn’t quite have the electrifying atmosphere, what Reed calls ‘the remarkable spirit embodied in this exceptionally interesting and moving performance’, found on this astonishing occasion. Nor have the Wandsworth Boys’ Choir, placed up in the Hall’s gallery, been surpassed.
The soloists also seem to realise the special quality of the occasion. Pears surpasses even his own creator’s reading on the Decca set, singing with the sustained concentration and vocal acuity that were so much his hallmarks in Britten’s music. The Polish soprano Stefania Woytowicz, who at the time made something of a speciality of this work, has very much the vocal timbre of Vishnevskaya, for whom the part was written, and perhaps a shade more sensitivity. In any case I now rate her the best soprano on any version, and Wilbrink, a notable Pelleas around this period at Glyndebourne, comes near being the best baritone. He may not be quite as varied or subtle as Decca’s Fischer-Dieskau, nor as confident as Chandos’s Shirley-Quirk, but he has a more beautiful voice than either, with a plangency in his tone that is so right for this music, and his carefully wrought enunciation of the words, the unidiomatic English not inappropriate, is eloquent at all times, but nowhere more so than at ‘I would go up and wash them from sweet wells’ in the final movement.–Alan Blyth
