Dr. Lambert's research explores how composers like Franz Schubert and Benjamin Britten engage with literary texts and the influence of earlier composers on their work. His publications analyze Schubert's multiple settings of Goethe's poetry and Britten's dialogues with Purcell, Mahler, and Mozart.
His recent work Britten's Gods (2024) systematically investigates Britten's creative debts to six composers through genre-specific comparisons, including War Requiem (Bach), Death in Venice (Mozart), and Second String Quartet (Purcell).
