Extract

Nearly 15 years have passed since Tempo devoted a whole issue to the music of Robin Holloway. And though that issue remains unsurpassed in its breadth of scope and euriditon, much has happened in Holloway's oeuvre and music generally to make a re-assessment necessary, and indeed urgent. Here I shall merely cover some of the basic ground, and attempt a slightly different view on the output of a composer whose finest works will surely stand as some of the most important produced in this country since the war.
