Reviews

• Luxuriating in a post-Wagnerian Romanticism tinged with Expressionist intensity, the songs were lit by the joy of youth and shaped by the cool-headed wisdom of experience. Echoes of the post-war British musical scene were surrounded by more pungent, colouristic harmonies perhaps indicative of a developing creative talent in the 1950s gradually assimilating the music of Schoenberg and his pupils. The overall effect was utterly entrancing: Wood achieved that rare degree of poignancy peculiar to the resolutely unsentimental.
