if anyone's got XM the opera station's been playing some of his stuff today in commemoration of the anniversary of his birth, not sure if it'll go on for tomorrow too or not

I have a tin ear for opera which rules out a lot of Britten for me but I love the Grimes sea interludes and the War Requiem is obviously monumental. I've never got round to his symphonic work but I'm sure I'd get a lot out of it.

i think if you struggle with opera Britten mightn't be the worst place to start, Peter Grimes is very much of a piece imo
