Hi, I've seen a number of messages recently concerning rare works and underperformed composers. I would like to suggest Nicholas Maw as a British composer whose work is heard all too infrequently, either on record or in the concert hall. I can remember a performance of Odyssey conducted by Simon Rattle at the Festival Hall in London some years ago. The music was memorable and the performance excellent but since then I have not come across performances of any of his other work although ASV have issued some excellent CD's of Maw's music. I know personal preference comes into this but I believe that other far inferior modern coomposers get much more exposure. Any comments? David Lewis
