I’m deeply saddened by the news of the death of Giles Easterbrook. One of British music’s greatest and most informed champions, a colourful and informed writer, and a founding member of the Bliss Trust. He will be very much missed.

Arthur Bliss wrote his 3-movt Cello Concerto for Rostropovich, who debuted it at 1970 Aldeburgh Festival with English Chamber Orch & The Britten Pears Archive. Of the virtuosic work he wrote ā€˜there are no problems for the listener - only for the soloist!’ Arthur Bliss Society @TheBlissTrust
