Extract

Bernard Benoliel is best known, perhaps, as the Secretary of the RVW Trust—a position he has held for the last 4½ years. But his reputation as a postserial composer has been growing recently, largely through BBC broadcasts of his music. The forthcoming world premiere of his Symphony makes this a particularly fruitful time to introduce a remarkable and highly individual body of work.

* This is the first instance of Benoliel's recurrent desire to celebrate in music the historical personalities who have been a particular inspiration to him––such as St. Paul, C. G. lung, D. H. Lawrence, and Scotus Erigena. Here the subject is Lawrence of Arabia, and the composer believes he may still return to the material of the Portrait for some future work.
