Britten: Midsummer Night’s Dream – Alfred Deller

A Midsummer Night’s Dream op. 64 (Ein Sommernachtstraum, Oper in 3 Akten)
Introduction…Over hill, over dale (1 Akt)
Oberon is passing…I’ll met by moonlight
Well, go the way
How now, my love?
(Be it on Lion…)…I love thee not
Welcome, wanderer!…I know a bank
Is all our company here?
Fair love, you faint with wand’ring
Through the forest have I gone
Stay, tho’ thou kill me, sweet Demetrius
Come, now a roundel, and a fairy song
You spotted snakes
What thou seest when thou dost wake
Introduction (2 Akt)
Are we all met?
I see their knavery
Be kind and courteous
Hail, mortal, hail!
I have a reas’nable good ear in music
How now, mad spirit
Flower of this purple dye
Puppet? why so?
This is the negligence
Up and down
On the ground, sleep sound
Introduction…My gentle Robin (3 Akt)
Helena! – Hermia!
When my cue comes, call me
Have you sent to Bottom’s house?
Orchestral march…Now, fair Hippolyta
If we offend, it is with our good will
Gentles, perchance you wonder at this show
In this same Interlude
O grim-look’d night
O Wall, full often hast thou heard my moans
You Ladies, you
This lanthorn doth the hornèd Moon present
Sweet Moon, I thank thee for thy sunny beams
Asleep, my Love? What, dead, my dove?
Come, your Bergomask
Now the hungry lion roars
