The Turn of the Screw
Album by Benjamin Britten & Peter Pears & Jennifer Vyvyan & David Hemmings & Olive Dyer & Joan Cross & Arda Mandikian & The English Opera Group Orchestra & Benjamin Britten
The Turn of the Screw is a chamber opera by English composer Benjamin Britten, first performed in 1954. Scored for a small instrumental ensemble and solo voices, it uses recurring motifs, tonal ambiguity and concise vocal writing to create a tense, psychological atmosphere, and it represents a mid-career emphasis on chamber-scale dramatic works in Britten's output.
