Seconded

We wish, just for the record, to go on record as seconding Alex Ross’s recommendation and linking of this piece on Britten’s Peter Grimes by Peter G. Davis for The New York Times. Peter Grimes is one of our favorite operas, and on our shortlist of The Greatest Operas Ever, and Mr. Davis does it justice in this first-rate and perceptive piece.

Worth your time reading even if you’re not an opera fan.
