Sinossi
"His comments on Britten's music, which occur unobtrusively throughout the narrative, are richly informative."—Alexander Waugh, Literary Review
Benjamin Britten was one of the outstanding British composers of the twentieth 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 has 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 lifelong friend of Britten, producing a uniquely personal, sensitive, and authoritative account.

Informazioni sugli autori
David Matthews is one of the leading composers of his generation, his music acclaimed worldwide and in the 1960s he worked as an assistant to Benjamin Britten.

His series of ten string quartets is one of the most distinguished that any composer has essayed in recent years. He has also written seven symphonies. They, and an accompanying cluster of works such as September Music, the Serenade, two Violin Concertos, the symphonic poem In the Dark Time and the monumental orchestral Chaconne, confirm him as one of the world's foremost composers.
He is the author of Michael Tippett: An Introductory Study.
