Premiered at Covent Garden in 1951, it arrived in the immense shadow of \u003cem\u003ePeter Grimes\u003c\/em\u003e, yet from the beginning many musicians sensed that Britten had created something even more remarkable: a taut, psychologically charged music drama of extraordinary concentration and power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYet the original four-act structure posed problems. By 1960 Britten had undertaken a substantial revision, compressing the opera into two acts while tightening transitions and reshaping parts of the score. This BBC studio performance, broadcast on 13 November 1960 under the composer’s own direction, preserves that revised version at a crucial moment in the opera’s evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eContemporary critics immediately recognised the significance of the revision. Writing in \u003cem\u003eThe Observer\u003c\/em\u003e shortly after the broadcast, Peter Heyworth described the opera as “a score stripped for action” in which “every incident fulfils a musico-dramatic purpose”. Heard today, the performance still carries precisely that sense of dramatic concentration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cast assembled for the broadcast was a distinguished one even by Britten standards. Peter Pears, for whom the role of Captain Vere had been written, brings an inwardness and verbal sensitivity unmatched in this repertoire. Joseph Ward’s Billy is warm-hearted, physically vivid and touchingly direct, while Michael Langdon gives a darkly compelling portrayal of Claggart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePrepared here in a new Ambient Stereo XR remastering from surviving archive sources, this historically important BBC broadcast emerges in remarkably vivid sound, restoring much of the drama, urgency and orchestral colour of Britten’s original transmission. As part of Pristine Classical’s ongoing series marking the composer’s anniversary year through significant historic recordings, it preserves not merely a performance, but a vital stage in the evolution of one of Britten’s greatest operatic achievements.\u003c\/p\u003e578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_download_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample3_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample4_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample5_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample6_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_labelfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fFull Track Listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_typefb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5ftrack_listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_contentfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size:24px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eBRITTEN \u003c\/b\u003eBilly Budd, Op. 50\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRevised Two-Act Version\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eDisc One: Act I\u003c\/b\u003e (76:58)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003e01.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003ePrologue - I am an old man...\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e(4:36)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003e02.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003eScene 1 - Pull, me bantams!\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e(5:36)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003e03.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003eBoat ahoy!\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e(3:09)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003e04.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003eFirst man forward!\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e(2:32)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003e05.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003eYour name?\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e(2:24)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003e06.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003eBilly Budd, king of the birds!\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e(2:13)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003e07.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003eI heard you!\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e(3:28)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003e08.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003eCome along, kid!\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e(8:23)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003e09.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003eChrist!
