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?

Veale's music is amiong some of the most hauntingly beautiful I have ever heard. How can one gain access to his MSS in order to study some of this marvellous material, please?

agreed with JV about the absurd promotion and lack of criticism of modern music by Stockhausen, Cage, etc championed by Glock, etc.
