Richard Rodney Bennett is one of Britain's most distinguished, versatile, and prolific 20th century composers. His music ranges across a broad spectrum of styles from opera and ballet through
orchestral and chamber music to jazz. This book, the first ever published about him, documents his vast and ever increasing output. It consists of a brief biography; a detailed list of works
and performances, classified by genre and then arranged alphabetically by title of composition; a list of Bennett's publishers; a discography of commercially and privately produced sound
recordings; and an annotated bibliography of writings by and about Bennett, including reviews of performances of his works.
