Britten & Poulenc: An Anniversary Year

Leto 2013 je združilo dve pomembni obletnici: stoletnico rojstva Benjamina Brittna in petdeset let od smrti Francisa Poulenca. Sovpadanje je postalo izhodišče niza koncertov v Veliki Britaniji in po Evropi, ki so njuna značilna glasbena svetova postavili drug ob drugega.

Niz se je začel konec leta 2012 z ansamblom Polyphony v Amsterdamu in Aldeburghu. Leta 2013 so Holst Singers Brittnovo delo A.M.D.G. postavili ob Poulencova Un soir de neige in Sept chansons. City of London Sinfonia je v Londonu predstavila programe, posvečene Poulencu, in z njegovim Organ Concerto obiskala deset katedral. Na festivalu v Cheltenhamu so programi vključevali Poulencovo Gloria in Brittnovo Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings.

V Rigi je Latvijski državni zbor izvedel Poulencovo Figure humaine skupaj z Brittnovim Hymn to St Cecilia. Pozneje istega leta so sledile izvedbe v Stockholmu in Nemčiji.

Ti obletniški koncerti so bili del veliko daljše zgodovine izvajanja in snemanja obeh skladateljev, od devetdesetih let do danes.
