Reviews

'Matthews's Britten is fluent, informative. His comments on Britten's music, which occur unobtrusively throughout the narrative, are richly informative.' 'David Matthews's Britten is a lyrical appraisal of an often tormented existence.' '...if I were asked to recommend an introduction to Britten to somebody who knew little or nothing about the man and his music, I would unhesitatingly urge this one.' '[A] solid introduction to the man and his music, written by a composer who worked with him.' 'Affectionate biography for every fan.'
