He wrote the first successful English opera since Purcell, along with a collection of songs, choral compositions and ballets that have assured him an important place in 20th century music. Micheal Oliver offers a compact, useful introduction to British composer Benjamin Britten and his work, from folksong settings to church music to the great opera Peter Grimes. Though frank about Britten's homosexuality and long time relationship with tenor Peter Pears, the book is never purient and seldom gossipy.. Contains a selective discography.
