Robin Tritschler / Malcolm Martineau / Philip Higham

Peter Pears, who died 40 years ago, was a regular presence at Wigmore Hall where, in 1942, he and his partner Benjamin Britten gave the world première of the Seven Sonnets of Michelangelo. Robin Tritschler and Malcolm Martineau’s tribute concert includes the dozen Songs of the Zodiac which Geoffrey Bush composed in memory of the great English tenor and the emotionally incendiary music of Richard Rodney Bennett’s Tom O’Bedlam’s Song, written for Pears and Malcolm Martineau’s aunt, the cellist Joan Dickson.
