Britten and Pears: the final resting place

            Benjamin Britten, who died in 1976, and his partner Peter Pears, whose death was ten years later, lie next to each other in the parish churchyard of St Peter and St Paul in Aldeburgh, Suffolk.

Baron Britten of Aldeburgh OM, CH (1913-76) was a composer, conductor and pianist whose work was central to classical music of the 20th century. Sir Peter Pears CBE (1910-86) was a celebrated recitalist whose extensive repertoire covered four centuries. They lived and worked together for almost 40 years.

As he neared the end of his life, Britten wrote a letter to "the greatest artist that ever was”. In return, Pears thanked him for "all the heavenly joy we have had together for 35 years”. Theirs was a partnership that was also enjoyed and valued by music aficionados throughout the world.
