Britten Experienced: Modernism, Musicology and Sentiment

Britten Experienced is a response to two recent studies of the composer, and offers alternative critical readings of some of his major works. The author frames his proposals with episodes of musicological autobiography that attempt to illustrate how artistic taste and values may be formed against stereotypes of 'brow'.
