  • Gay icons both. May Britten's genius continue to inspire humanity towards tolerance, peace, love and respect. We remember you both fondly, beloved Peter and Ben.

  • As well as I know this song, this recording made me cry. Beautiful control of pitch and dynamics by Pears and sublime accompanying by Britten. Exquisite and moving. Thank you for posting this.

  • @Gabba02 Where did you find these amazing videos? I would be very interested in getting a hold of them if you could point me in the direction of a DVD. Does such a thing exist?

  • Pears, in my judgment, never sacrifices musicality for drama. The sound is clear, open, and beautifully controlled without detachment. He is so inside this piece and uses such empathic restraint in his interpretation. I continue to love the seamless line of his voice. A real master.

  • He sounds wonderful. @_@

  • I was stationed with the USAF in Suffolk, England in the late '60's. One day, I was in a record store in Aldeburgh, when an elderly gentleman walked in, and as our paths crossed, he wished me a good day. I subsequently found out that it was Britten. Nice man.

    Years later, I was at a Pears recital at the University of Chicago, shortly after Britten's death; Mr. Pears spoke briefly in remembrance of him, and dedicated a song to him. Another nice man. Too few of them in this world.

  • What I love with this interpretation is how they use the silence. They are not afraid of the silence - I just love it!

    And the way they change the character - two minds acting as one.

  • fischer dieskau and wunderlich were much better, but it's a ok version...

  • Christ is Britten a colorful pianist ...
