Geoffrey Bush: An Unsentimental Education

Geoffrey Bush: An Unsentimental Education

Geoffrey Bush (1920-1998) was a British scholar, organist and composer, who having met and befriended John Ireland in his youth became an ardent champion of English music. Published to mark his 70th birthday in 1990, An Unsentimental Education was his second volume of essays, autobiography, and other musical recollections - following the successful formula used in Left, Right, and Centre . Inside, he discusses many subjects close to his heart, including contemporaries such as Arne, Bennett, Sullivan, Britten, and Montgomery. His distinctive narrative is unmistakable, and its readability is only enhanced by the many amusing asides.

Richard Alston: Norman Del Mar

Richard Alston: Norman Del Mar

This is the first biography of great British conductor Norman Del Mar who sadly died in 1994. A horn-player colleague of Dennis Brain he owed the opportunites for his earliest conducting success to the teachings Beecham and Britten. He went on to hold opportunities in Scotland and Scandanavia, but never securecd a permanent post that would have perhaps enabled him to attain his full ptential as a conductor. However, he gave countless premieres at the BBc Proms and elsewhere, while his love of large-scale music occasioned pioneering UK performances of Mahler symphonies and major works by Schoenberg and Stockhausen. He was also a prolific author, notable for his study of richard Strauss and several books on the orchestra, and well-known as a teacher. But he is best rememebered today as a champion of British music all over the world, and this is reflected, albeit inadequately, in his discography, published here in full. A wonderful, enlightening and nostalgic book which will be a joy and of great use to Del Mar admirers, thiose interest in conducting or in music and history.
