Sir George Dyson, an exact contemporary of Sir Arnold Bax, was enough highly regarded that he was honored with a knighthood in 1941; but, sadly, who knows his music today, especially in the United States – this despite the fact that his son, the physicist and mathematician Freeman Dyson, is professor emeritus at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, and his grandson, also George Dyson, is an author and historian of technology who lives in Washington state?

Join me this afternoon for Sir George’s Symphony in G, composed in 1937 and out of circulation since the late ‘40s. The piece was revived and recorded for the first time by Richard Hickox in 1994. Hear it, among my featured works, between 12 and 4 p.m. EDT, on WWFM – The Classical Network and wwfm.org.
