cover of Chandos super audio CD of Benjamin Britten's Peter Grimes, featured a lighthouse with a strong beam into stormy skies.

79 years ago today, Benjamin Britten's Peter Grimes, starring Peter Pears and Joan Cross, premiered at Sadler's Wells, London. (Picture from a much later recording--I just liked the image.)
