Philip Brett changed the way we hear Britten's music, compelling us to listen anew for its sounding-out of political, sexual, and cultural meanings. Brett's richly detailed historical awareness, his supple and subtle theoretical mind, his sheer musicianship - these are qualities clear on every page of this book. - Philip Rupprecht, author of Britten's Musical Language
