Another possible trend ...

... and of vastly greater significance than a cocktail renaissance. I am listening just now to Adrain Boult conducting the Royal Philharmonic in Edmund Rubbra's sixth symphony. I decided to Google Rubbra and see is there was anything new online about him and was pleasant surprised to find that he may be getting more of the attention he deserves. Here are some links:

Some thoughts about Rubbra's music.


EDMUND RUBBRA (1901-1986): A COMPACT BIOGRAPHY and CD Reviews by Rob Barnett.

Edmund Rubbra (1901 - 1986) by Francis Routh.

Edmund Rubbra Symphonist.

That will do for a start, though none of it is a substitute for listening to Rubbra's wonderful music.
