- Synopsis:
This collection features four historically and musically significant films from the BBC archives of works and performances by Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears, one of the greatest English tenors and Britten's long-term partner and artistic inspiration. This colour film recording of Mozart's Idomeneo dates from a period when Mozart's first "mature" masterpiece was barely known. This may indeed be the first-ever film of the opera.
