Britten Sinfonia and Alice Coote celebrate Britten's birthday in style at Wigmore Hall

Evan Dickerson, 22nd November

22 November 2012 would have been Benjamin Britten’s 99th birthday. Wigmore Hall marked the occasion with the first concert in a series of nine events in November and December. However, rather than focusing exclusively on Britten’s music, it built towards the climax that saw Britten’s angst-ridden late masterpiece Phaedra searingly performed.
