Humphrey Searle

Humphrey Searle was born in Oxford on 26 August 1915, perhaps the only English composer of his generation to study with Webern in Vienna (1937-8). He was also an authority on Liszt, and wrote a book in consequence. His own music used a version of 12 tone technique, from which came three operas, five symphonies, two piano concertos and many shorter works. He died in London on 12 May 1982.

A selection of articles about Humphrey Searle

Echoes of Oblivion by Robert McCarney - From swerve of shore to bend of bay

CD Spotlight. Nobler in the Mind? - Giuseppe Pennisi finds Joseph Summer's 'Hamlet' a musical hodgepodge. '... almost in late Romantic style.'

CD Spotlight. Farrago of Fun - The Hoffnung Music Festival Concert, recommended by Howard Smith. '... though these show their age, the sound remains adequate.'
