' It takes me an awful long time to commit music to memory ... and with songs, for example, I can never learn a strophic song to save my life.'
Despite this self-confessed. though no doubt exaggerated revelation, Robert Tear has one of the widest repertoires of any tenor, ranging from Handel to Berg and Tippett, taking in Victorian songs and ballads on the way.
In this programme he talks to Alan Blyth about roles and music in his repertory.
With illustrations on record from Hugh the Drorer, Lulu, The Knot Garden, Belshazzar and other works.

A singing match between Corydon and Thvrsis constitutes Eclogue 7: each song of Thyrsis echoes and counters a point made by Corydon in his preceding song. In the eighth Eclogue there are two monologues: the first is that of Damon, who sings as a disappointed lover, the second that of Alphesiboeus, who gives voice to the thoughts of a deserted girl who seeks charms to bring back her lover Daphnis.
