EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, two of the most renowned vocalists of their time, Peter Pears and Alfred Deller, are seen engrossed in a rehearsal for the Aldeburgh Festival of 1962. The setting is the hallowed grounds of Aldeburgh Parish Church, where the Choral and Orchestral Concert was to take place on the 24th of June. Peter Pears, a distinguished tenor, and Alfred Deller, a unique counter-tenor, were both integral members of the Glyndebourne Festival Opera Company, founded by Pears and his partner, the composer Benjamin Britten. The duo's collaboration began in the late 1940s, and their partnership proved to be a groundbreaking force in the world of classical music. In this image, Pears and Deller are immersed in the intricacies of Bach's Cantata No. 71, "Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme," a masterpiece that would showcase their exceptional vocal abilities. The photograph captures the intense focus and dedication of the two musicians as they prepare for their performance, with Pears holding the score and Deller poised to sing. The church's stained-glass windows cast a soft, ethereal light over the scene, adding an air of reverence and spirituality to the moment. This photograph is a testament to the rich musical history of Aldeburgh Festival and the enduring partnership between Pears and Deller. Their collaboration brought innovative interpretations of early music to the forefront of the classical music scene, and their influence continues to be felt in the world of opera and choral music to this day.
