I'm sorry - a relative, or just a close friend?

None of the above
A famous baritone.

But thank you for your concern, anyway.

Ok - means nothing to me, but if he was important to you - sorry again.

I'm just using it as a reason to listen to some Schubert.

I've said this before
But music is like history. It's immense, and you simply can't profess to "like" either.

I'll let you do that.
I have specialist tastes too.

Is Britten specialist?

Shit
About a year or so ago I had an idea that they should put on a performance of this at Coventry Cathedral to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the original performance.
It turns out that not only have they gone ahead and done that, but also they've sold out of tickets so I can't go to it:
