Benjamin Britten

This program, the first complete performance video available of the composer/conductor, provides a fascinating look at Britten’s skills as an interpreter of his own music. The video is especially valuable as a document of the legendary artistic collaboration between Britten and his longtime companion Peter Pears, the tenor for whom most of his vocal music was written.

Bonus segments on DVD version feature Britten in a 1968 interview for Canadian television, and Pears singing two Elizabethan songs with Julian Bream, lute.
