A giant, who took British music studies seriously ๐Ÿ™ #RIP
Very sad to announce the death of doyen of British musicology and music analysis Arnold Whittall. He had been ill since the beginning of the year. Iโ€™m mourning not only an intellectual giant and valued mentor but also a close friend who we saw for the last time on Saturday.

In 1987 #RichardRodneyBennettโ€™s #Symphony3 seemed to mark a huge pivot in his style but in fact #SonnetstoOrpheus (1979) is the true turning point. Itโ€™s great that this recording exists @RenaudMachart @BMusicSociety @jonathanclinch @BBCSSO Great liner notes by @RichardBratby

The Elegy is both historical artefact and living ritual. Each performance re-enacts a โ€œperformative utterance against death,โ€ accumulating new meaning over time. Rather than rupturing with tradition, it evolves... 1/3
