Benjamin Britten - In Rehearsal and Performance with Peter Pears Benjamin Britten - In Rehearsal and Performance with Peter Pears (1964) Character: N/A
Benjamin Britten, Nocturne for Tenor, Chamber Opera Orchestra
Idomeneo Idomeneo (1969) Character: Conductor
This TV production is from 1970 and the color picture is accordingly rich and beautiful. The sound however is below average for the era, but still ... twiddle the knobs, turn the bass up a little, and get acclimated. This is a fully traditional production, actually very pleasing in that regard.
Benjamin Britten: A Time There Was… Benjamin Britten: A Time There Was… (1979) Character: Himself (Archive)
A portrait of one of England's greatest composers. Winner of the Prix Italia.
Britten's Children Britten's Children (2004) Character: Self (Archive footage)
Children and childhood fascinated Benjamin Britten throughout his life and inspired some of his greatest music. John Bridcut's compelling film sheds light on the composer's own inner child throiugh interviews with several of Britten's former companions and muses.
The Burning Fiery Furnace The Burning Fiery Furnace (1967) Character: N/A
Tony Palmer's documentary about the staging of Britten's choral work.
Ken Russell's ABC of British Music Ken Russell's ABC of British Music (1988) Character: Self (archive)
A feat that fully matches its title, an alphabetical trawl through both the history of British music and Russell's own likes and dislikes, the latter summed up by a scene in which he takes a phone call and listens for a bit before concluding that 'it's either an obscene call or the beginning of Michael Tippett's Fourth Symphony.' Gleefully exploiting an already contrived format, Russell uses alphabetical coincidence as an excuse to throw wildly disparate material together: Elgar is fused with Elton John, Holst with Heavy Metal and Punk with Purcell.
Benjamin Britten's War Requiem Benjamin Britten's War Requiem (1964) Character: Conductor/Composer
First transmitted in 1964, Benjamin Britten's War Requiem is performed at the Royal Albert Hall. The Melos Ensemble is conducted by Benjamin Britten, and the performers include Heather Harper (soprano), Peter Pears (tenor), Thomas Hemsley (baritone) and Simon Preston (organ and chamber organ). Also featured are the BBC Chorus and Choral Society, Boys from Emanuel School, London Philharmonic Choir, and the BBC Symphony Orchestra.

Britten: Nocturne Britten: Nocturne (2013) Character: Himself
Tony Palmer directs this documentary exploring the life and work of the celebrated English composer, conductor and pianist. Britten is particularly well known for his operas, which include 'Peter Grimes' and 'Death in Venice'. Palmer discusses the life experiences that influenced Britten's work, such as the turmoil of World War II, which horrified his pacifistic nature, and reflects on the role of an artist in such troubled times.
