Fifty years after the composer’s death, writer and broadcaster Tony Scotland traces Benjamin Britten’s stormy journey to self-discovery through three defining – and technically illegal – relationships in the late 1930s: with the composer Lennox Berkeley, ten years his senior; the German poet Wulff Scherchen, still a teenager; and the tenor Peter Pears, who was to become his lifelong partner.Once a voice of Radio Three, Tony Scotland is the author of ten books, including Wulff – Britten’s Young Apollo.
