Benjamin Britten Billy Budd

Album

In 1846 werd een jonge Amerikaanse zeeman ter dood veroordeeld, omdat hij zijn meerdere geslagen had. De kapitein die hem veroordeelde, vroeg of hij hem kon vergeven, waarop de zeeman antwoordde: "Yes sir, and I honour you for it. God bless that flag!". Het was een van de incidenten die aan het eind van de 19e eeuw de schrijver Herman Melville inspireerde tot zijn boek "Billy Budd, sailor". Benjamin Britten zou op het verhaal een opera componeren die in 1951 in première ging. De opera bestond toen uit vier aktes. In 1960 zou Britten voor een radio-uitzending de opera reduceren tot twee aktes en het is deze korte, meer dramatische versie die dirigent Richard Hickox opgenomen heeft. De rol van Billy Budd wordt gezongen door de bariton Simon Keenlyside en die van kapitein Vere door de tenor Philip Langridge. De opera speelt zich in het geheel af op een schip in een omgeving van alleen maar mannen. Deze achtergrond geeft aanleiding tot een aantal prachtige stukken voor mannenkoor. De aria van Billy Budd, "Look! Through the port comes the moon-shine astray", die hij zingt terwijl hij weet dat hij de volgende ochtend vroeg zal sterven, is terecht zeer geliefd bij baritons. Een mooie opname met uitstekende zangers en ook het London Symphony Chorus & Orchestra klinken goed in deze Engelse opera. (C.P.)_
