Selling Britten: Music and the Market Place

By Paul Kildea

Benjamin Britten's relationships with Boosey & Hawkes, Decca, Covent Garden, the Aldeburgh Festival, the English Opera Group, and the Arts Council, had a huge influence on the music he wrote. This book explores the effect of these commercial and national institutions on the music of one of the
foremost British composers of the twentieth century.
