The torture, er, analysis never stops!

Great writing in <I>The New Yorker</I> on a great musician singing some real "adult" music. I offer Britten as the refutation to those who say that there can be no great vocal music in English&mdash;I can't think of any of his operas or art songs that aren't immensely musical and moving.
