Reseña del libro "Knowing Britten (en Inglés)"

The conductor and pianist Steuart Bedford (1939-2021) could not remember a time when he did not know Benjamin Britten. His mother, Lesley Duff, sang with the English Opera Group in the premieres of The Rape of Lucretia and Albert Herring in the late 1940s, and the whole family was closely involved with Britten and Peter Pears for many years. Following his music studies and time on the music staff at Glyndebourne, Bedford joined the English Opera Group, gradually becoming Britten's trusted surrogate conductor. As the composer's health began to fail, he took on responsibility for the premiere performances of Britten's final opera, Death in Venice, including its US premiere at the Metropolitan Opera, New York, and the dramatic cantata Phaedra among others. He served as an Artistic Director of the Aldeburgh Festival, 1974-98, recorded the Collins Classics series of Britten works and in 2013, Britten's centenary year, conducted 'Grimes on the Beach' for the Aldeburgh Festival.Knowing Britten is a vivid and insightful account of Bedford's long association with both Britten the man and his music.Table of ContentsList of Illustrations1 My mind beats on2 A thirst, a leaping, wild unrest, a deep desire3 Should I give up the fruitless struggle with the word?4 So be it5 What lies in wait for me here?6 My head is heavy, my eyelids ache7 I must go elsewhere, I must find a clearer sky, a fresher air8 How much better to live, not words but beauty, to exist in it, and of it9 The power of beauty sets me free10 Yet I am driven on11 O voluptuous days, O the joy I suffer12 So the moments pass13 And now, Phaedrus, I will goNo epilogue, I pray you, for your play needs no excuseAcknowledgementsIndex
