. . . on Google Groups (rec.music.classical.recordings) to the effect that Britten and Pears did not like Vickers' assumption of the role. For one thing, Vickers' interpretation was 180 degrees opposite that of Pears, and for another, Vickers made changes to the vocal line, the rhythm, and the text. There are some accounts that Britten even walked out of Vickers' performances, not once, but twice! (Doesn't make any difference to me however, since I don't care for Britten's music anyway.)
