Britten by David Matthews
A short, accessible biography of Benjamin Britten, one of Britains most outstanding 20th-century composers.
'Matthews's Britten is fluent, informativeHis 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.'
David Matthews is one of the leading composers of his generation. In the 1960s he worked as an assistant to Britten. He is the author of Michael Tippett: An Introductory Study.
