@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 ...
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.
