Eminent British composer and pianist Benjamin Britten (1913-1976) and partner Peter Pears assembled an art collection of some 300 works, which are housed at The Red House in Aldeburgh, UK. This book showcases about 200 and documents all 300 with a comprehensive checklist. Editor LeGrove is a former Britten-Pears Foundation Curator. She explains how the collection evolved and, in this volume, has brought together essays on the patronage by Britten and Pears of numerous artists, the friendship between artist Mary Potter and Britten, buildings commissioned or modified by Britten and Pears, Britten's work for film and stage, and Britten and Bloomsbury, among other topics. The book measures 9.5x12". Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
