Quite haunting with such wonderful harmonies. Very atmospheric. So fresh, spare and unusual in texture. Britten being Britten without being obscure.
struggente introspezione che si estrinseca nello stato d'animo dell'autore espresso dalla viola-dialogante con gli archi- con fraseggi sobrii e malinconici

Best perfomance!!! Bravo!!!!
Beautiful! and is opus 48a. Greetings from Argentina.
Beautiful!
what a stunning end to a very intense piece
Molto molto bello !
Grazie
Haunting music it really goes deep.. cant explain.
I certainly agree with mrbeethovenfan regarding the perception that the clouds appear to be going down in the accompanying photo. Thanks for posting.
This is maybe my most loved piece by Britten, but I can't stop wondering why this is called Lachrymae. The Lachrymae Pavans are based on the theme of Tears ("Flow my tears, fall from your spring"), while the theme of this Britten piece is evidently a quite different Dowland song ("If my complaints could passions move"). There must have been a confusion somewhere.
I was touched by this music, but being Britten that's no surprise
You my dude, you get it.
Not sure how I've got to the age of 64 without ever having heard this but am very happy to have discovered it this morning: the Britten centenary has made me curious about the Britten pieces I have missed. There is no reason why this should not join the Vaughan-Williams Tallis Fantasia or the Barber Adagio in popularity. It just needs more frequent exposure - and perhaps more open-minded listening.
Or even Dowland's Lachrymae>
Born in Lowestoft and went to Junior School here, his home is now a B and B but it retains much of the history with great sea views
The Tallis Fantasia and Barber's Adagio are beautiful. This isn't. There's a reason why those two are widely popular and deeply loved by so many, and this languishes in the obscurity it deserves.
@@stevepayne5965 Perhaps it is also the need for an open mind? At least there are enough here who have been able to hear what he has to offer. (Which is not to knock Barber or Vaughan-Williams).
great
Perfect for writing classic suspense/horror/mystery books.
NICE WORK,,,,SHOULD REMIND U OF CORELLI FANTASIA BY SIR THOMAS TIPPET.....GREAT FINAL VARIATION.....
Completely aside considerations of the music (which is quite haunting), I couldn't help noticing a peculiar perception effect in this video. Our brains expect to see those clouds slowly moving, and so for a while that's exactly what I did see. I had to look several times to ensure my mind was really playing tricks on me. For me they seem to be moving slowly downward. I know that wasn't the purpose of this video. Britten + Dowland . What could be better?
Seems to me that the entire picture is moving about very slightly. Possibly some fault with the video presentation.
is a picture I do not know who did it.
Composed in the year of his death. Sounds like he saw it coming.
COMPLETED IN 76,,,,,PROBABLY LEFT UNFINISHED QUITE A BIT EARLIER IN HIS LIFE...
What is the painting's name and author ?
I'd swear this is opus 48...
vous pouvez repeter en frenche svp
I find it interesting that viola seems to be a common choice for dying composers
But not in Britten's case. This work was composed for viola and piano in 1950, at the age of 37. Britten "arranged" it for viola and strings in 1976. His string quartet no. 3 is a more representative swan song.
