Decca is delighted to present a boxed set of the complete orchestral and Instrumental Music. Britten created works which defined and shaped their genres going forward...his pioneering works like Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra and works for children to perform showed the world how composers could connect to and educate a wide audience. The sheer range of his creative work, and output, is astonishing.
