'Owen Wingrave' reviews and synopsis

‘Britten has packed his most skillful craftsmanship into Owen Wingrave. He uses a handful of musical techniques; among them, a percussive motif representing the military tradition of the Wingrave family, and a sequence of plain chords that recall Billy Budd for the pacifist beliefs of Owen himself.’ The Financial Times (Gillian Widdicombe)
