Title: The travel diaries of Peter Pears, 1936-1978
Description: Peter Pears's reputation as a gifted and distinctive tenor is grounded in his interpretations of Benjamin Britten's works; their partnership of thirty years significantly shaped and defined musical developments not only in England but on a broader plane. Throughout their busy professional lives they travelled extensively, on concert tours and on holiday, finding fresh stimulus in change.

Pears's twelve travel diaries, brought together for the first time in this volume, record much of that travel and provide valuable contextual material on the musical development of both Pears and Britten.
