Having heard John Veale's Violin Concerto on the Chandos CD I am amazed that it is not played on Radio3, Classic FM or in concerts. The slow movement is as passionate and beautiful as any that I have heard.

I heard the Concerto. What a great piece, one in the grand tradition! The first movement alone would make a complete work, so full of ideas and brilliance from that first violin entrance soaring upwards through to the sparkling end. Why haven't I heard of this fascinating composer before?

JV has ‘outstanding gifts….he is a born symphonic composer, his orchestration is very effective and the writes in a style which though original sets no difficulties in the way of the hearer. He also has shown special aptitude for writing incidental music for the stage.
