Used; Like New/Used; Like New. Rare dual signed candid shot of the two English composers in formal attire, probably at a reception (Tippett holds a glass of wine), smiling at each other and chatting intimately.  No date, but probably from the 1960s.  Signed by both.  Mounted to rigid backing.  7 x 5.75 inches (17.5 x 14.3 cm).  In very good condition. From the collection of English orchestra manager John Charles."The two composers were good friends, with a high level of mutual respect and much in common – both were homosexual, for example, and both were convinced pacifists.  Yet while Britten's music since his death is performed around the world almost on a daily basis, performances of Tippett are much rarer. Even A Child of our Time, his most frequently performed work, is one of his earliest major pieces, and is perhaps unrepresentative of his mature style."  (William Cole, "Britten and Tippett – Two Kinds of Englishman," Interlude (Hong Kong)), 2013)
