Benjamin Britten

My book of the moment is Humphrey Carpenter's biography of Benjamin Britten. I am just at the point when he wrote Curlew River- which I saw performed in Ripon Cathedral shortly after it had been written. It was as moving for me as the Passion Play at Oberammergau - which I also had the enormous fortune to see.

For anyone in Yorkshire, Olly is giving two performances at the Swaledale festival next week
