Enescu Festival 2023 – George Enescu Philharmonic Orchestra & Choir. Hannu Lintu conducts Britten’s Billy Budd. Live stream on Enescu Festival website, also live on Radio România Cultural.
Tuesday, September 12, 2023
Grand Palace Hall, Ion Câmpineanu 28, Bucharest, Romania
These few words are merely a means of documenting one of the absolute highlights of the Enescu Festival 2023 (whatever happens next), a concert performance of Benjamin Britten’s men-only (cast and chorus) 1951 opera Billy Budd, to a libretto by E. M. Forster and Eric Crozier, based on Herman Melville’s novella, given in the 1964 revision when four Acts became two.
Although a non-staged, undirected rendition, the singers, dressed smart-casual, each fully commanding and projecting of their respective characters, vocally interactive, helped create a gripping theatrical dimension, Hannu Lintu (chief conductor of Finnish National Opera) finding a satisfying balance of dramatic urgency and reflective largesse, and with a keen ear for Britten’s scoring (large orchestra including saxophone, harp and two sets of timpani), the George Enescu Philharmonic thoroughly prepared and playing with brilliance (horn and piccolo solos) and subtly dynamic support.
