Composer:
Malcolm Williamson

Conductor:
Rumon Gamba

Background: Malcolm Williamson was born in Sydney and studied under Eugene Goossens among others. While he explored serialism it was not long before he embraced a personal eclecticism encompassing popular elements, both rhythmic and melodic, and was soon within the orbit of the Britten circle with a relatively accessible, melodic style.

He became Master of the Queen's Music on the death of Sir Arthur Bliss in 1975; the first non-Briton to hold the post since the early days of the office. Despite this position, some 30 years on one has difficulty in remembering any pieces written by Williamson in his official capacity, but this series is sure to revive interest in this important composer.
