Notes & Reviews:

"The performances on this album are a pure pleasure. Dennis Brain is certainly one of the greatest horn players ever recorded, and one of only a handful whose tone is so distinctive -- pure, sweet, refined, and absolutely secure -- that it's easily recognizable as his own. In the Britten Serenade, in which he is joined by Peter Pears in a performance conducted by Eugene Goossens, his sensitivity and musicality are on full display." -All Music Guide
