Dennis Brain is recognized as perhaps the greatest horn player the
world has known. He helped rescue the horn from the obscurity in
which it had languished for over a century, and revived the
public's faith in it as a major solo instrument. Brain restored to
the concert platform concertos by Mozart and Haydn, and inspired
contemporary composers to write for the horn, most notably the
Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings by Benjamin Britten, composed
during World War II, a piece which is now central to the repertoire
of tenors and horn players. Brain died at the tragically young age
of thirty-six in a car crash. The beauty of his playing and his
untimely death captured the public imagination like no horn player
before or since. This biography was reissued thirty years after his
death, and includes a discography. The book also contains an
appreciation by Benjamin Britten. 'A clear account of Dennis
Brain's brilliant career ...' Times Literary Supplement '...an
absorbing and extremely well-written account of the orchestral
scene in England.'
