Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Sir Peter Neville Luard Pears was an English tenor and life-long partner of the composer Benjamin Britten. He was educated at Lancing College and went on to study music at Keble College, Oxford, serving as organist at Hertford College, but left without taking his degree. He later studied voice for two terms at the Royal College of Music. He claimed that it was hearing the tenor Steuart Wilson singing the Evangelist in Bach''s St Matthew Passion which ''started me off''.He met Britten in 1936, when he was a member of the BBC Singers.Pears and Britten gave their first recital together in 1937 at Balliol College, Oxford University. They left for America together as conscientious objectors when WWII became inevitable. Upon their return to England in 1942, they performed Britten''s Seven Sonnets of Michelangelo together at Wigmore Hall on 23 September, and then recorded them for EMI, their first recording together.
