In honor of Britten's birthday on November 22, Rondeau Production releases Britten's Centenary, presenting the multifaceted oeuvre of the British composer. The disc unites the exceptional artistry of the Regensburger Domspatzen under the baton of their director Roland Buchner, harpist Maria Graf, and soprano Susanne Bernhard, who perform Britten's secular and sacred works in a remarkable production.
