Braga Santos

How good to see Braga Santos featuring as a ‘déjà review’ in his centenary year – he was born on 14 May 1924. His first four symphonies are all big romantic works and the Fourth in particular an absolute winner – I think Rob Barnett praised several of these when they were first issued. Anyone who doesn’t know the composer should give the Fourth a try and they will be hooked – I played it to a music club here many years ago and two members couldn’t rest until they had their own copies. It would be wonderful to think the Fourth might appear in the Proms but I have little doubt that it won’t!
