Benjamin Britten, born November 22, 1913 in Lowestoft in Suffolk, and died December 4, 1976 Aldeburgh, is a composer, conductor and British pianist, often considered the greatest British composer of the postwar. Benjamin Britten is sent to school at the age of thirteen to Gresham's School in Norfolk. It is the student of Frank Bridge and studied at the Royal College of Music in London. In 1935 he became acquainted with W. H. Auden with whom he worked on the musical cycle Our Hunting Fathers, among other. He met the tenor Peter Pears in 1937, his future companion who has a big influence in his musical life and that he will sign copies of several works. The creation of his Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge, op. 10 in 1937 at the Salzburg Festival marks its entry into the musical world. Accompanied by Peter Pears, he went into exile in the United States from 1939 to 1942. Thereafter, he returned to the UK where it enjoys the status of conscientious objector. In 1948, he founded the Aldeburgh Festival (Suffolk) to which it associates in the 1960s the English Chamber Orchestra, especially during the creation of several works, such as The Dream of a Summer Night, Owen Wingrave or Curlew River. Invites his friends Britten, Mstislav Rostropovich and Sviatoslav Richter particular. Several concert recordings have been published by the BBC, with Britten at the direction or soloist (piano more often). Google machine translation: Bijamin BRITEN's original bio |
