In Memoriam

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

New recordings of music by Havergal Brian , who died 20 years ago, on 28 November 1972, at the age of 96. His Fourth
Symphony, written as Hitler came to power, sets Luther's German text of Psalm 68 - "Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered"
- as a shattering vision of the hollow barbarism of human triumph.
