Audio-visual

Our collections include thousands of sound and video recordings


One of the hundred's of recordings in the audio-visual collection

We have an extensive archive of audio and moving image material relating to the careers and lives of Britten and Pears.  

We are engaged in a long-term project to transfer our sound recordings from their many different analogue formats to digital audio, in order to make them more easily accessible and ensure their long-term preservation.

We also seek to acquire a copy of every commercially available sound recording of Britten's music.
