Britten's Words

At the start of May, Florian Kräutli and I went to the Red House at Aldeburgh, Suffolk, UK to see the exhibition Britten’s Words, in which Florian’s digital visualisation appears.



The exhibition makes exceptionally good use of audio-guides, providing real musical depth to the objects and explanations.


In Florian’s visualisation, song-cycles in Britten’s life of composing are connected to the poets positioned in their own historical timeline. See earlier post for explanation.


Many thanks as always to Lucy Walker of the Britten-Pears Foundation for her sensitive and supportive collaboration.
