"Arnold Whittall's brilliant technical book on the music of Benjamin Britten and Michael Tippett is really two books for the price of one." Opera Quarterly "[Whittall's] book contains the most substantial writing on Tippett so far, while on Britten he provides an essential complement to Peter Evan's major study." Times Literary Supplement
In this classic study of Benjamin Britten and Michael Tippett, Arnold Whittall builds up a unique double portrait of the two leading composers of their show more generation. For this second, revised edition Whittall includes a new chapter on Tippett's major works of the 1980s: the Piano Sonata No. 4, the large-scale choral composition The Mask of Time and the most recent opera, New Year. In addition, new information on the Britten repertoire and an updated bibliography are also presented. show less
