From Aldeburgh Beach to Snape Maltings, Tom traces the coastal landscapes that shaped Benjamin Britten’s music. At The Red House, Britten's home for many years, pianist James Baillieu performs on the composer's own piano, offering a musical insight into his world. At Snape Maltings, the home of the Aldeburgh Festival, Tom explores how a former agricultural site became a leading centre for music, and celebrates the enduring legacy of its founder, Benjamin Britten. With more live music from Britten Sinfonia oboist Peter Facer.
