[…] when the BSO did a few excerpts after the Paris premiere; I thought the music was hideous, but couldn’t fault the performance, and Messiaen had personally selected Ozawa to direct it for him. And I was present in Symphony Hall in 1981 for the premiere of Roger Sessions’s Concerto for Orchestra, which Ozawa used, along with Beethoven’s Ninth, as a season opener — a thrilling experience, particularly when I remembered that Ozawa, like his predecessors Steinberg and Leinsdorf, were not much interested in American composers.

A report circulates from the coastguard of a ship sinking off the coast. Amen! From the visual aspect, Paul Steinberg’s spartan, grey-coloured set captures so well the oft-bleak coastal landscape of Suffolk where Britten was born. Forming a rust-coloured corrugated-iron roof with breeze-block walls, the set, economically designed, I should imagine, also made way for Grimes’ hut, the coroner’s court, The Boar and even the promenade complete with a capstan while Brigitte Reiffenstuel’s costumes harbour the attraction and design of the austerity post-war period of clothing where saving your coupon allowance could improve your […]
