Ha, I just sent this message to a friend re this piece! ..if you picture little dog running along the downs atop the cliffs...or various animals scurrying around in a wood, a day in the life of the inhabitants mebbe
Now that you mention it, I completely agree. This piece really does suggest the purity and energy of animals in their habitat in a vivid yet unsentimental way
I always come back and love it more every time. Its so moving, and great for story telling. I always imagine myself in a time that only i can make up in my own mind. Its great for the imagination ❤
I love backhanded complements, so I wish I could remember who described this as "rather lonely Ravel". That's not fair, however, as it is very distinctive and original and quite spooky in a way Ravel never could be. In my Top 10 Chamber works (only 1 Beethoven allowed!).
+therealomunit Perhaps this is a ridiculously late response, one year later, but I do believe that this is from an audio CD - Britten Britten - Complete Works with Oboe by Gernot Schmalfuss, released in January 2000.
Hello, Matt. Do you mean it IS the first Britten you enjoyed or is it like another piece by him which was the first one you enoyed. I enjoyed this too and would be interested to know the first Britten other people enjoyed. I think mine was the Metmorphosis for solo oboe - I remember NOT enjoying the Cello Symphony, which I now love. Britten is definitely a composer to listen to AGAIN rather than just once!
Imagine this... A dull winters afternoon in a house on thre outskirts of Birmingham (UK) about 1960. I was sixteen and all alone and needed a book from the attic. My father was no handiman so that meant carrying a flickering hand torch, and up I went hauling up my 'transistor radio', and tuned into classical music from 'The Third Programme'. Dark up there and a voice announced: 'Lyke Wake Dirge...' which meant nothing to me. Nothing at all. Dark up there. After the opening bars I paused, frozen, and after a time the hairs on my arms came to attention as Peter Pears told me just what would happen if I didn't share my hose and shoon and my life, I believed him too. I never did find the book but I found Benjamin Britten.
I first heard (enough to notice) Britten's music 41 years ago, when I was 33: "Ceremony of Carols," probably his most widely heard piece other then "Simple Symphony" and "Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra"; and "Nocturne." "Nocturne" is still one of my Britten favorites, settings of poems about sleep and dreams--very eerie. And it inspired me to try composing again, as twice before (age 5 [nada] and ages 13-15. This time, having been shown by Britten's music that a 20th-century composer could write vocal music (knew much modern music, but just a few choral works, e.g. Stravinsky's "Symphony of Psalms," Orff's "Carmina Burana"). On this 3rd try I succeeded somewhat, setting several poems to music; now having retired, I have much more time and am doing it more seriously. So you could say that Britten's music (like classical music in general) has played an important role in my life. He joined Bartok on my list of the greatest composers of the 20th century (lately I think maybe Shostakovich belongs there too). Yet, surprisingly, though I have heard of the "Phantasy Quartet," I'd not heard it till now. I like it a lot! It is of course youthful Britten, less complex than later pieces, but that simplicity reinforces its wonderful lyricism.

![Benjamin Britten - Phantasy Quartet [With score]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ksdSIBBGtnI/mqdefault.jpg)
This piece could have been written yesterday it feels so modern. It has a depth, wit, and yearning to it that is utterly fascinating. I love it.
Beautiful, gotta thank Mr W.Anderson for introducing me to Britten
This makes me feel like a fox, running through the vast wilderness. Wild and free.

영국의 홍난파..
Benjamin Britten.. 짠...
It is elaborate and exquisite
performance..
It so good..
Gorgeous composition
Sublime. I can imagine myself on horse back in the English countryside.
Beautifully realised performance. Thanks for sharing.
This is a great piece. Britten wrote in many different styles - this style is similar to his Sinfonietta, which is just as good.
This is like the first Britten I've enjoyed!
His violin concerto is excellent, as is "Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge".
I'd be interested to know which was the first piece by Britten you enjoyed, and is like the Phantasy Quartet.
And his 'Simple Symphony' is beautiful and a joy too
@@daigreatcoat44 Sinfonietta is a bit like it, and just as good.
awesome quartet!
🥰🥰🥰
perfecto
this is AWESOME!!!!!!!
Ace!

which others do you love?
I'd love to buy this exact recording on either CD or Vinyl if it exists in those mediums, could someone point me to the recording? thanks.

Wrote this when he was 19.
great
He, gotcha.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
I got to do a project for this person that's why I'm listening to this lol
What is a lol ?

War Requim. It took me awhile to understand the Cello suites but once I did I was hooked. But my favorite is Julian Bream playing his Nocturnal.
@@LizzyMapp Quelle poésie!
Lovely album art, who is the painter?
LangdonFilmes Chek the description box! It says the names of the artists.
Benjamin Britten one of many great artists to come from that Island, unlike it's current political state..
Stop worrying, we are absolutely fine.
