Скачать или смотреть Benjamin Britten - The Young Person's Guide To The Orchestra (Simon Rattle)

After searching for so long, I have finally found the complete performance of Young Person’s Guide conducted by Simon Rattle. Yes, the quality isn’t ideal, but it’s still the real deal. This was the second ever performance I saw of the piece, and when I did, I was probably seven years old. I’ve grown and learned so much since then, and until today I have never seen the complete performance of this particular version. And so, after 17 years, we at last have the complete video of Young Person’s Guide with Simon Rattle conducting the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra

Sorry if I got a little sentimental, but it’s deeply personal to me. Enjoy.

Oh, and at the end, there is a new variation on Purcell’s theme by Judith Weir. For those who are curious, the instrumentation is alto flute, English horn, bass clarinet, contrabassoon, and four violas.
