      To get an idea of the astonishing longevity of Stravinsky’s career, it’s worth setting it within the context of global events. When the Russian composer hit the Parisian headlines with the premiere of his ballet The Firebird in June 1910, Robert Scot

      ‘In my view, Vaughan Williams is unquestionably one of the great symphonists of the 20th century,’ says Sir Mark Elder. ‘I mean, really important. I would put his symphonies absolutely alongside those of Sibelius and Shostakovich.’ Elder’s journey th

      For many, Vaughan Williams is synonymous with an idealised version of bucolic Britain. The ubiquity of The Lark Ascending and the Tallis Fantasia has to some extent prevented the composer’s myriad and varied other works from achieving similar levels

      Commentary: Why Satie? Why Now? How One Composer Embodies Our Time Of Loneliness And Angst

      Safe at home has not necessarily meant sane at home. One antidote is a mega-dose of Erik Satie. The French composer's most beguiling and languidly becalming piano pieces, particularly the inescapable "Gymnopedies," began showing up in April and May o
