The extraordinary voice of Alfred Deller, the countertenor pioneer who dominated this particular vocal register in the 1950s and '60s. He inspired Britten to write the role of Oberon for him in 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' as well as the generations that followed. It was in the field of the English Renaissance song that Deller's artistry found its most perfect expression, distilling the peculiar melancholy of this repertoire in a manner which has never been equalled.
