La Monnaie Chamber Orchestra, Ben Glassberg

Benjamin Britten's The Turn of the Screw (1954) is based on Henry James' disturbing ghost story and is a veritable psychological thriller in the form of a chamber opera. The Orchestre de la Monnaie under Ben Glassberg presented this masterpiece in a production that received rave reviews despite the Covid crisis. We now present a version recorded in the studio immediately after the performances. Compelling singing actors (including Ed Lyon and Sally Matthews)
drive the listener's imagination to unbearable heights of tension here.
