If you are interested in the life and music of #BenjaminBritten I can highly recommend Tony Scotland’s new book ‘Wulff’ – about the composer’s friendship with Wulff Scherchen, son of the conductor Hermann. It’s a rich tale that reflects a long life ....
From Tony Scotland, author of Flèche and Lennox and Freda, comes Wulff, the fascinating story of Britten's muse. It's available at the reduced price of £20 (inc. UK postage) until 6th August. For more info: https://t.co/9rl5XYNxqE
