Peter Grimes

Album by Benjamin Britten & Philip Langridge & Richard Hickox

Peter Grimes is a 1945 opera by English composer Benjamin Britten. The work combines lyrical writing, dissonant harmonies and vivid orchestral colour to depict a tense psychological drama and occupies a central place in mid-20th-century British opera, representing a turning point in Britten's career and in the revival of English-language opera after the Second World War.
