George Benjamin by Risto Nieminen
Whilst still in his teens, George Benjamin was hailed as the greatest new talent in British music since Britten, and became the youngest composer ever to have a piece performed at the Proms. He has since matured into one of the country's major musical figures. He has always been a strong advocate of modern music, stressing the importance of the aural imagination over the attractions of systems. Published in collaboration with IRCAM, the electronic-music institute in Paris founded by Pierre Boulez, this book includes an overview of Benjamin's music by Renaud Machart, an extensive interview with Benjamin, introductions to all his music, and a bibliography and discography.| SKU | Unavailable |
