Benjamin Britten was a most reluctant public speaker. Yet his
contributions were without doubt a major factor in the
transformation during his lifetime of the structure of the
art-music industry. This book, by bringing together all his
published articles, unpublished speeches, drafts, and
transcriptions of numerous radio interviews, explores the paradox
of a reluctant yet influential cultural commentator, artist, and
humanist. Whether talking about his own music, about the role of
the artist in society, about music criticism, or wading into a
debate on soviet ideology at the height of the cold war, Britten
always gave a performance which reinforced the notion of a private
man who nonetheless saw the importance of public disclosure.
