Description for Edmund Rubbra: Symphonist
Paperback. Leo Black, a pupil of Rubbra in the 1950s, presents a full-scale study of his symphonies (the first for twenty years). A biographical sketch throws light on legends about the BBC and Rubbra; there are full programme notes on each symphony, with accounts of important non-symphonic works. Num Pages: 256 pages, 1 black & white illustrations. BIC Classification: AVGC6; AVH; BGF. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 236 x 157 x 18. Weight in Grams: 398.

The immediately-post-war ones document new emotional depths and his conversion, while the final symphonies show a man still in search of peace and reconciliation, overlooked by the world but certain he was on the right path.

Reviews for Edmund Rubbra: Symphonist
This handsomely produced volume can be read with profit by amateurs, connoisseurs, and scholars alike ...Thoughtful, erudite and compelling. A labor of love, it is also the brief of a skilled advocate; Rubbra's music, now lost in the twilight of musical limbo, fully merits such a committed redeemer. NOTES The reader is treated to a wide-ranging discussion that ... Read more
