International
an utterly delightful 1957 "classical"
symphony ... clear, concise and extrovert
The Times
As
usual Dr. Jacob has met the challenge brilliantly, writing just the
same clear, concise and unselfconscious and totally extrovert sort of
music that a first-rate eighteenth-century craftsman might have
produced while yet achieving a totally twentieth-century harmonic and
textural piquancy.
