Synopsis
This new edition has been thoroughly revised and edited by John Evans (research scholar to the Britten Estate) who has updated the chronological list of published works and included in the bibliography the many books that have been written about the composer since his death in 1976. Although, as the title suggests, this book concentrates on Britten's operatic output, Mr White's account offers insights into the whole range of this prodigious composer's music. The text is lavishly illustrated with plates that reveal both the diversity of his operatic development and comprise a distinctive pictorial bibliography.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good +. 2nd. Crease on cover, otherwise in very nice condition. (From the back Cover) Long regarded as the best and most comprehensive introduction to the life and works of Benjamin Britten, Eric Walter White's book has been out of print for some years. The author has now rounded off the volume with a sympathetic account of the last six years of the composer's life, and with characteristically penetrating studies of Britten's last two operas, Owen Wingrave (1970) and Death in Venice (1973). this new edition has been thoroughly revised and edited by john Evans (research scholar to the Britten Estate) who has updated the chronological list of published works and included in the bibliography the many books that have been written about the composer since his death in 1976. Although, as the title suggests, this book concentrates on Britten's operatic output, Mr White's account offers insights into the whole range of this prodigious composer's music. The text is lavishly illustrated with plates that reveal both the diversity of his operatic development and comprise a distinctive pictorial bibliography. No student of Britten's varied and brilliant works can put it down without an enriched understanding of the art of one of the most significant creators of our time. Seller Inventory # 047661
