Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears were justly celebrated as outstanding interpreters of both English Song and German Lieder. Both artists are at the peak of their interpretative powers in these two classic BBC films; a studio recital of Britten's arrangements of traditional English folksongs, first broadcast in June 1964, and a specially staged performance of Schubert's great song cycle Winterreise, first seen in November 1970.
