Purcell: The Fairy Queen (English Chamber Orchestra, Ambrosian Opera Chorus, Benjamin Britten conducting; London; 2 LPs; $ 11.98). A master at conducting his own music, Britten has also in recent years given us fascinating interpretations of other composers' work −notably the Mozart G Minor Symphony and the Bach Brandenburg Concertos.
