The recent spate of world premières, concerts and several newly-released and imminent CD recordings have indicated a renewed interest in the music of the British composer Graham Whettam, who celebrated his 70th birthday with a concert in 1998 (see review in Tempo 206) and is still busy producing new works. As recently as February he completed his Fifth Symphony, for chamber orchestra (a Sixth is in progress) and his String Quartet No.4 is scheduled for a première later this year.
