Great choice for the 25th. ‘Proper’ contemporary music – a stupid term but I just like Wood’s no-nonsense atonal language, showing that one can be powerful and expressive using it. I expect you know the Symphony and Piano Concerto, both very exciting, compelling works although I’m not so keen on all the Mozart (I believe) quotes in the symphony – I guess that kind of thing was in vogue then.
