Phaedra 布瑞頓 費德拉

這是為珍妮特-貝克夫人的傑出才華而創作的《菲德拉》聲樂作品。該劇以亨德爾的義大利巴羅克大合唱為藍本，由聲樂詠歎調、弦樂詠歎調和帶連奏的聲樂朗誦組成，是一部格外緊湊、經濟的作品，既有張力，又充滿情感。菲德拉》的戲劇性足以支撐一部長篇歌劇，它是這種形式的一個縮影，是一部出色的 16 分鐘情景劇，也是布裡頓為他鍾愛的聲樂媒介創作的最後一部傑作

原文簡介:
Vocal score of Phaedra, which was written as a vehicle for the remarkable talents of Dame Janet Baker. Modelled on the Italian Baroque cantatas of Handel, the series of arias for voices and strings, and recitatives for voice with continuo result in a extraordinarily taut and economical work, both intense and emotionally charged. Containing enough drama to sustain a full-length opera, Phaedra is a microcosm of that form, a remarkable 16-minute scena, and Britten’s last masterpiece for his favoured medium, the voice.
