    People overlook the total genius of Britten's arrangements. We will never see the like again.

    Britten's intuitive accompaniment plus Peter Pears's wonderful voice combine to make this the definitive interpretation. Genius.

    ..... one of yr corres[ondents says Pears singing is " dated & affected....
    If thats the case, I wish for more dated and affected singing today ( 2023 )
    I cant hear that '64 recital enough, and find it profoundly moving

    A sublime version of this is sung by Julius Drake accompanied by Gerald Finley on Hyperion CDA67778. I first heard it as I was driving to work nearly ten years go and had to pull over to listen to it.

    This is lovely. if you agree, you'd be as well not to watch Dudley Moore's send-up :)

      The Dudley Moore spoof is absolutely brilliant but doesn't detract from this.

    Britten was such a great pianist.Pears alas hasn't aged well and his style of singing sounds hopelessly dated, unnatural and affected.
    It would be nice to hear a proper singer sing these charming songs.
