| Book Description | Benjamin Britten was one of the outstanding British composers of the 20th century. He shot to international fame with his operas, performed by his own English Opera Group, and a series of extraordinary instrumental works. His music won a central place in the repertoire and the affection of successive generations of listeners. David Matthews brings to this biography his special insight as a fellow composer, former assistant and life-long friend of Britten to produce a uniquely personal, sensitive and authoritative account. |
| Editorial Review | Matthews's Britten is fluent, informative. His comments on Britten's music, which occur unobtrusively throughout the narrative, are richly informative.' 'David Matthews's Britten is a lyrical appraisal of an often tormented existence.' '...if I were asked to recommend an introduction to Britten to somebody who knew little or nothing about the man and his music, I would unhesitatingly urge this one.' '[A] solid introduction to the man and his music, written by a composer who worked with him.' 'Affectionate biography for every fan.' |
| About the Author | David Matthews is one of the leading composers of his generation, his music acclaimed worldwide. In the 1960s he worked as an assistant to Benjamin Britten. He is the author of Michael Tippett: An Introductory Study (Faber and Faber). |
