I enjoy listening to the Britten Cello Suite No. 3 that's why I bought this CD. After listening to this composition, I am not sure about its spiritual qualities. I had the same response to this music that I have when looking at the paintings of Mark Rothko. John Tavener's Cello Concerto 'The Protecting Veil' is also played with genuine emotional involvement and deeply expressive tones. As for the music, I just can not appreciate it even after many play-backs. Tavener: The Protecting Veil Thrinos, Britten: Third Suite for Cello, op. Britten: Cello Suite No. 3, Op. 87: Mournful Song Under The Little Apple Tree - Molto Semplice by London Symphony OrchestraGennadi Rozhdestvensky. Not Available. The Protecting Veil was at first a suggestion from cellist Steven Isserlis, subsequently commissioned by the BBC for the 1989 Proms season. Steven Isserlis gave the premiere performance. I'm always very grateful to have a recording by the performer who gave the premier performance of a work. The soloist is Stephen Isserlis and the strings of the London Symphony Orchestra are conducted by Gennadi Rozhdestvensky. The Protecting Veil is essentially a concerto in which the cello almost continuously plays, although it differs from a traditional concerto, in which the opposition between the orchestra and the soloist heightens the musical drama.

In this superbly produced disc, both soloist and orchestra manage to convey a rapt and inward-looking quality that many have found truly uplifting. Choral Music Taveners choral music constitutes the most sub- stantial part of his output, with many of the best pieces prompted by the
