Benjamin Britten: Young Apollo
Quote:
The work premiered on 27 August 1939 on CBC Radio's Melodic Strings with Britten as soloist and Alexander Chuhaldin conducting. Britten dedicated the work to Chuhaldin. The composer withdrew the work following this performance and the work had to wait until 1979 before it was performed again, this time at the Aldeburgh Festival.
