naraht, this one is for you, if you haven't seen it already: As the Benjamin Britten centenary approaches, tenor Ian Bostridge picks his 10 favourite works – including one he has vowed never to perform again:Ten Favourite Brittens
(He very usefully for the rest of us included YouTube renditions, including the one with Peter Pears singing Michelangelo's sonnets. The homoerotic content of which, Bostridge muses, might have gone over the original audience's head, due to the lyrics being in Italian. I heard Jonas Kaufmann sing them two years ago in a Salzburg matinee, and he made a short Michelangelo-Britten-homerotic-love-in-the-arts introduction remark. Whereupon people in the audience evidently forgot to switch off their mobile phones, because those rang no less than five times, and I really wanted to strangle people (I wasnt the only one; Jonas Kaufmann, however, was a patient saint; I'd have walked off stage).

Early in December, I recced an excellent Skyfall AU about M and Bond that departs from canon during the Westminster Inquiry. Now the author has written a sequel, making yours truly, always on the look out for M and M & Bond (or M/Bond, I take either!) very happy indeed:

This Little Babe, which is like standing under the rush of an icy waterfall. In a good way.

Quite possibly true, but My beloved is mine (1947) has equally homoerotic lyrics when sung by a man, and is in English. Apparently it still went over the audience's head...
