Peter Pears
Peter Neville Luard Pears (June 22, 1910 - April 3, 1986) was an eminent British tenor and life-long partner of the composer Benjamin Britten.
He trained at Hertford College, Oxford, where he was organ scholar, and at the Royal College of Music.
Several of Britten's works contain a main tenor role written specifically for Pears. He also sang tenor parts in such works as Johann Sebastian Bach's Passions.
