While expressing personal challenges with the complexity of Boulez's 12-tone influenced music, the author contrasts this with the more accessible yet inventive compositions of Benjamin Britten and Henze.

The author also emphasizes Henze’s artistic philosophy prioritizing atmosphere and expression over strict adherence to notes. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Arts/Entertainment Review src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Prospect is the property of Prospect Publishing Limited and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
