Book Review | This is one of the strangest books that I have ever read. The year is 1862, the setting is a grave yard in Washington. President Lincoln goes to the cemetery to say goodbye to and mourn the death of his beloved son, Willie. Little does know the odd assortment of spirits that witness his visit. The conversations and reactions of these souls make for a unique story. |

My Beloved Man: The Letters of Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears
Title | My Beloved Man: The Letters of Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears |
Author | Benjamin Britten |
Call Number | ML410.B853 A4 2016 |
Location | 3rd Floor Music |
Rating | Highly Recommended |
Book Review | My Beloved Man is a collection of correspondence between British composer Benjamin Britten and his lifelong romantic and creative partner Peter Pears, a famous British singer. The letters, which begin shortly before WW2 and extend into the 1970s, are a glimpse inside an incredibly tender, emotionally-rich relationship that had to be mostly concealed from the outside world. For Classical music nerds such as myself, the letters are also fascinating for the amount of name-dropping and gossip involving the "who's who" of Classical music in the 20th century. |
