More about the book
Exploring the influence of Benjamin Britten on contemporary British composers, this collection features revised essays and analyses from 1995 to 2018. It highlights how figures like Harrison Birtwistle and Thomas Adès, while differing in style, navigate their musical identities against Britten's legacy. Despite their claims of independence, the enduring impact of Britten on British music institutions and culture is evident, making the discussion of 'British music after Britten' rich and complex. Arnold Whittall, a noted authority on twentieth-century music, provides insightful commentary throughout.
