Fantastic post(s). Not really familiar w/Britten save for War Requiem so I'm looking forward to working through these. Thanks!
Anyone who has followed "Rab Hines's" obsessive Bruno dirt at Call It Anything has seen that "Hines's" sole purpose is to spoil the name of a well-known German trumpeter.
CIA is not about jazz. For "Hines", it's about terror, libel, and involving music lovers in his stalking activities. Anyone supporting "Hines" risks a visit from the authorities all-too-soon.
"Hines" is an unemployed, mentally ill person from New Jersey masquerading himself as a jazz fan. Though nobody knows his real name, his voice can be heard at Bruno's Alert Blog. Well-known is his IP address under which "Hines" spammed literally hundreds (!) of jazz blogs with pedophile comments.
For more, simply google "Rab Hines Alert Blog". It's the very first Google entry.
What a heroic series of posts! I've never been a great admirer of Britten, but it's been interesting to give some of this music a second chance. I'm glad I did. Thanks so much for sharing it.
