'It was very clever of Britten to have written so much children's music: it provides instant indoctrination.' Ian Bostridge is only half joking. He caught the bug early, when his music master at Dulwich Prep School, Michael Spencer, took the choir through Friday Afternoons, A Ceremony of Carols, Noye's Fludde and The Golden Vanity—'the latter being a sore point as the English master told me afterwards I couldn't act and set me up with a complex I've had some trouble getting rid of!'
