This Collection Of Revised Reprints Of Essays, Reviews And Analyses First Published Between 1995 And 2018 Surveys A Cross-section Of Contemporary Classical Composition In The Uk.

Despite Obvious And Considerable Differences In Character And Style, British Composers Like Harrison Birtwistle And Thomas Ads, Robin Holloway And James Dillon, Have Continued, Like Britten Himself, To Seek Personal Perspectives On The Still Prominent Procedures And Personalities Of More Distant Baroque, Classical And Romantic Eras.
