- Rare video footage of these two great artists from Japanese television, 9 February 1956. The concert also featured Britten's "Michelangelo Sonnets" with some folksong settings.
1. "I attempt from love's sickness to fly"
2. "Man is for the woman made" 2:14
Link to my Peter Pears playlist:

The entire concert from Tokyo is available at the playlist. - เพลง
A rare treasure indeed. I heard them both at Nottingham in Winterreise in 1963, and Pears with Murray Perahia and Julian Bream at Wigmore Hall in 1976, and Pears at the Festival in the Serenade in January 1977, the first time he had sung in public after Britten's death. He got a standing ovation.
Beautiful, lyrical, even in tone and musical...long beautiful phrases! You can never hear him breathe....
I love Purcell and I have always loved Peter Pears's voice.
Thank you so much for posting videos of Britten and Pears performing together. It is such a treasure to have access to two phenomenal artists.
A rare treat indeed to watch and hear these two. Well done!
Brilliant pairing - a masterful pianist and a fascinating tenor!
Each note is a jewel - and Pears' actual voice is here at the ideal balance between freshness and maturity with no need for the "adjustment" that became necessary in the sixties and with greater depth than the slightly callow sound of his younger self.
He brings out a wonderful earthy, direct quality on the second song. What a resonant voice.
Una coppia meravigliosa! Un amore unico
Thank you for posting this remarkable video! What a treasure to see two wonderful musicians in their prime. Their love story endures and Britten, one of the best composers of the 20th century, enjoyed accompanying is partner. I adore Purcell so this was a rare treat that I'd never heard before. Thank you so much!
Indeed! This is one of the best recordings of Pears I've heard.
What a wonderful performance, and what a tremendous artistry! (And, yes, what an amazing breath control!)
The wonderful Peter Pears - GORGEOUS! Thanks for Posting!
Talent of the highest order.
What artistry! Great artists, both!! Thank you so much!! Arigatou!
What a beautiful tenor voice!
I'll never know why some musicians friend of mine didn't like Peter Pears voice!!! I'd rather trust my taste, so I love Peter Pears voice and genial artistry !!!
Just found this: marvelous! Thank you.
MARVELOUS!!!!
They set the standard. Gorgeous.
Two geniuses !!!! Thanks for the upload !!!
So beautiful 🥺🥺
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing!
great artists!
Une très belle voix et deux grands musiciens et amis!
pas seulment des amis mais aussi des partnenaires et amants! c'etait un marriage entre ces deux
Oui;je le savais mais qu'importe!
Amants.
I’ve always thought that “Man is for the woman made” sounds so much like a Gilbert and Sullivan aria! It’s also a pretty ironic choice, considering their relationship.
Wonderful! First class performance!
It's wonderful to be privy to these great performances where the music is brought vividly - and always intelligently - to life. You neither see nor hear Pears breathe (something he had in common with Frank Sinatra ... !)
paulprocopolis I believe Sinatra had early training in opera. I'm no expert, but will assume breathing method is something taught early in opera lessons. Always was in movies where someone is shown with their vocals teacher. Lol
perfection
Amazing....I’ve just listened to amateur sopranos singing this on TH-cam....and wow they SOUND like amateurs compared to this wonderful pairing of talents..
"Man is For The Woman made", err not quite Pears' and Britten's true sentiment methinks. It would seem that they were a model couple.
984francis haha I was just thinking the same, they probably chose the song on purpose as a joke, it is from "The mock marriage" so... ;)
Ah! Yes, I didn't get that, thanks!
+984francis See the video "The Hidden Heart, The life of Pears and Britten." on YT, If you haven't already. Enjoy
I'm pretty sure it's from the Indian Queen. But I would indeed love it if they had chosen it on purpose :-)
@@jackhousman6637 Thank you for this! Was just seeing photos of their "Red House" for the first time. Britten was fascinating and his life too brief.
Bliss!
Красивый голос.
Comical irony
dudley moore!
My innate dislike of classical warbling stops at the voice of Mr Pears, an extraordinary talent.
The famous Gay Anthem! :)
