What an illuminating interview. Thank you Andrew, and Martyn. To group the three symphonies that followed No 3, the Pastoral together gave me a lot to ponder. With few composers do I find a 'Generosity of Spirit' embedded in their music, but it is so with VW. So nice to hear from Martyn the reaction of audiences in Brazil, China and Japan. VW has accompanied me on my journey through life since I first discovered (care of Mr James, my music teacher at Hinchley Wood School) the Tallis Fantasia. I owe a huge debt to both.
Wonderful interview! I really enjoyed it
I, too, really liked the interview!

Martyn used to conduct me in Bristol.... and a superb maestro he was, to! Clear. Very musical. No ego.
Thank goodness a Brtish conductor with international respect is promoting RVW abroad.
