Ian Bostridge on Britten, Curlew River and singing the Madwoman

We spoke to Ian Bostridge about the music of Benjamin Britten, his masterpiece, Curlew River, and what it's like to sing the role of the Madwoman. Although the concerts couldn't go ahead, we wanted to share this film as a resource for anyone interested in Britten's music.

Thank you-I watched the performance from St. Giles and Ian Bostridge's comments-I agree-nothing against Pierre Boulez but Britten- is for ever-his touch was so sure

Thank you so much! I am writing my initial DMA paper on Curlew River and this source is invaluable!
