Info zu Songs for Peter Pears

Für eine Zeit des 20. Jahrhunderts war Peter Pears aufgrund seines Talents und seiner Verbindung mit Benjamin Britten vielleicht der berühmteste klassische Sänger der Welt.

Pears inspirierte Britten zu großartigen Kunstwerken, gerade weil Pears ein überzeugender Künstler mit einer außergewöhnlichen Stimme, einem neugierigen Geist und einem Wissen über Kunst, Geschichte, Literatur und Poesie war. Sie wurden zu einem sich selbst erhaltenden Duo, das sich gegenseitig zu noch größeren Höhen an künstlerischem Können, technischem Können und emotionaler Sicherheit inspirierte.

Dieses Album mit Werken von Lennox Berkeley, Benjamin Britten, Arthur Oldham, Richard Rodney Bennett und Geoffrey Bush wird vom Tenor Robin Tritschler aufgeführt, der vom Cellisten Philip Higham, dem Gitarristen Sean Shibe und dem Pianisten Malcolm Martineau begleitet wird.
