Dudley Moore Does Britten and Pears



Or rather, he hilariously makes fun of them. It's hard to imagine a more perfect impersonation of Pears' light tenor and sly parody of some of Britten's music than what you get here here. Enjoy Britten's lost setting of "Little Miss Muffet"! Or not!

What a funny video - it's brilliant. I'll never think of a Britten folksong arrangement the same way again.

That's awesome! I'd heard this before, but never seen the video. Where DID that come from!?

Muse, the video is from "Beyond The Fringe." The DVD is amusing. :-)
