An
introduction to Benjamin Britten
One
of the greatest composers of the 20th century, Suffolk born
and bred, his work was rooted in the county. From 1957 until
his death in 1976 Britten lived, with Peter Pears, at The
Red House in Aldeburgh - now the home of a fascinating archive
looked after by the Britten-Pears Foundation. This talk, illustrated
with sound and video clips from the archive collection, is
the ideal introduction to the man and his music.
