Posted by Sonataman on September 26, 2006, 1:09 pm, in reply to "Re: English Music on BBC Radio 3" I know that these 3 composers are not English born. I assume the BBC are referring to the fact that at least two of them lived and composed in England for a considerable time. The Irish born Stanford spent, say, 80% of his life and carried out virtually all of his composing in England. At least, to my knowledge, Tippett, Alwyn, Rubbra and G. Bush were born in England.

The information that I have posted is taken from the BBC's Radio 3 web homepage. Maybe you should inform the BBC of their error in saying English instead of British. I close to ignore it and focus on the general point they were making.
