Britten's Children by John Bridcut
Interweaving discussion of the music he wrote for and about children with interviews with the boys whom Britten befriended, Bridcut explores the influence of these unique friendships - notably with the late David Hemmings - and how they helped Britten maintain links with his own happy childhood.
John Bridcut has directed and produced television documentaries for the past twenty years or so, specialising in contemporary history, current affairs and the arts. For the Golden Jubilee in 2002, he produced BBC-1's four part series Queen and Country. He has recently profiled Hillary Clinton and Roald Dahl, and is currently working on a film about the realisation of Elgar's piano concerto.
