Made at the request of the Britten Estate, this film - thought to be the definitive portrait of the great composer - tells of one of the most profound love affairs of the 20th Century, between Britten and his lover and life-long companion and inspiration, PETER PEARS. At a time when it was illegal to be openly homosexual, Britten & Pears faced up to a hostile world with unflinching dignity, producing a string of masterpieces that, together with the works of Vaughan Williams, established English music as internationally pre-eminent in the middle years of the 20th century.Among the music featured is extracts from: ‘Peter Grimes’; ‘Billy Budd’; ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’; ‘ The War Requiem’; ‘Curlew River’; ‘Death in Venice’; ‘The Nocturne’ & ‘The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra’.with: BENJAMIN BRITTEN; PETER PEARS; LEONARD BERNSTEIN; SVIATOSLAV RICHTER; JANET BAKER; JULIAN BREAM; HEATHER HARPER; IMOGEN HOLST; JOHN SHIRLEY-QUIRK; RUDOLF BING & HENRY MOOREThe music conducted by STEUART BEDFORD and played by THE ENGLISH CHAMBER ORCHESTRA |
