Description:

Britten: Billy Budd by Bo Skovhus, released 5 July 2024. This version of Britten: Billy Budd comes as a 3xCD. -

This is a re-issue of one of the bestsellers of ORFEO's catalogue. It contains the Austrian premiere of the Britten opera, in the rarely performed original version in four acts. The baritone Bo Skovhus, whose international career began in Vienna in the early 1990s, gave a perfect Billy Budd - for the last time in his career, as he considered himself too old for the role at 40.

"Billy Budd (2001 Live Recording)" on CD captures the electrifying performance of Benjamin Britten's powerful opera, recorded live at the Wiener Staatsoper. This production features an outstanding cast including Neil Shicoff and Bo Skovhus, under the masterful baton of conductor Donald Runnicles, with the renowned Vienna State Opera Orchestra delivering a stirring musical experience. The recording stands out for its emotional intensity and dramatic interpretation, bringing to life Britten?s tale of innocence and injustice aboard a British naval ship. ORFEO D'OR is celebrated for its commitment to high-quality classical music recordings, preserving legendary performances from some of the world?s greatest artists and orchestras. Tenor Neil Shicoff is internationally acclaimed for his expressive voice and compelling stage presence, while baritone Bo Skovhus has earned accolades across Europe for his nuanced portrayals in both opera and concert settings.
