Abstract	George Benjamin is one of the most remarkable figures to have emerged in British music since the war. A composer of passion and genuine innovation, he is also a highly accomplished pianist and conductor. His initial explosion on to the scene while he was still a teenager seemed to promise an effortless fluency. Instead he chose a path of severe self-critical development, gradually evolving a harmonic language of depth and ingenuity, and a subtle instrumental palette, which could only have come from a composer with an acute ear and a disciplined technique. He stresses emphatically the importance of the aural imagination over the attractions of system, and his music is at once French in its sensuousness and English in its exuberance and lyricism.
