Composers and Authors
There are a number of highly refreshing things about this wonderful work: For one thing, here is a composer firmly set in the “English tradition” of symphonic writing who IS actually composing symphonies (which in recent times have become “unfashionable” to compose). There again, and bucking the contemporary trend, writes music that has real contrast and holds the attention. How refreshing, therefore, to listen to a piece of such varied tempo and not predominantly slow (a malaise that afflicts many present day composers). Here is a composer with something to say but, and of equal importance, something to say that people will want to hear!
