Turn of the Screw book launch -
20/06/2007
'The Turn of the Screw: visual responses to Britten's opera' was launched at The Britten–Pears Library, Aldeburgh on Tuesday, 19th June. About 130 guests enjoyed a drinks reception in the magical library built by Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears to house their extensive collection of books, paintings and sculpture. Andrew Plant accompanied Andrew Swait (treble) in a short recital of music by Poulenc and Britten and the glorious, sunny day allowed people to explore the gardens and environs. Pictured above is James Bowman receiving a copy of the book from Andrew and Jane, all three of whom have signed each of the 300 copies of this limited edition.
