	Richard Rodney Bennett
		Among present-day musicians, there can be few more versatile than Sir Richard Rodney Bennett, and none better at everything he does: composing for concerts and films, playing the piano in contemporary music and in jazz idioms, singing and playing classic show tunes in cabaret.
		Bennett was born into a musical family, and began composing as a child.
		A fellow-student was the pianist Susan Bradshaw, with whom Bennett later collaborated on a translation of Boulez’s theoretical writing, and formed a long-standing piano duet partnership.

	The Film Music of Sir Richard Rodney Bennett (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Despite having scored over 50 films, Sir Richard Rodney Bennett hasn't quite achieved the fame of his Hollywood peers, but in Britain at least, he is still highly regarded as part of the contemporary composing gentry.
		On the big screen, Bennett is perhaps best known for his romantically strident waltz for the Agatha Christie classic, Murder on the Orient Express and a brief suite from that score opens this album, sampling some of Bennett's finest film music.
		Bennett's music doesn't quite reach the gravitas or stature of his contemporaries, Bax and Bliss in particular, it's a little too low key overall, but that is little detriment to its enjoyment factor.

	Sir Richard Rodney BENNETT (b. 1936) - Film Music Collection: Film Music CD Reviews- January 2001 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Bennett has arranged his music for the 1972 film Lady Caroline Lamb as an elegy for orchestra and that Cinderella of the orchestra, the viola.
		Accordingly, Bennett responded with a mellow nostalgic score, in which the ondes martenot transports the characters, and us, away from the ordinary, everyday world - to somewhere that is extraordinary and enchanted.
		Bennett's music for Murder on the Orient Express is one of those scores based on an idea that seems initially bizarre, but so brilliant that in retrospect it becomes impossible to imagine the film any other way.

	CD Review of Claire & Sir Richard Rodney Martin & Bennett - When Lights Are Low on Linn Records @ jazzreview.com
		Bennett has further arranged them into splendid vehicles for conveying their unique singing styles, underscored by his first-rate piano playing.
		Bennett is a fine pianist who truly understands the role of an accompanist, supporting and lifting the vocals in a sensitive and empathetic manner.
		His arrangements often include the use of the verses to the songs, setting up the feel and the mood perfectly, and his solos are clean and simply stated, revealing the great talent behind them in their sparseness.

		Bennett won a scholarship to study with Boulez in Paris in 1957.

	Gormenghast - Richard Rodney Bennett
		Into the mix are two of the UK's top concert composers, Richard Rodney Bennett and John Tavener.
		Song of Titus kicks of proceedings; set to Peake's own peculiar lyric this is beautifully performed by Andrew Johnson and while a little unusual is quite captivating.
		It is perhaps a shame that Bennett did not choose to rework the best moments together into more extended movements and perhaps presented Tavener's music seperately at the end.

	Richard Rodney Bennett's 70th Birthday Concert
		This evening's concert contrasts some of the most popular English works of the twentieth century with a new work, which was commissioned at the request of HRH The Prince of Wales in memory of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.
		Like Vaughan Williams' Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis, Richard Rodney Bennett has based his new work for cello and orchestra on a traditional melody, in this case the Scottish folksong Ca' the Yowes (Call the Ewes).
		Benjamin Britten's Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra, derived from a theme by Henry Purcell, continues the theme, as does the programme's opening work, Elgar's Introduction and Allegro, which was supposedly inspired by the distant singing of Welsh folk tunes, heard by Elgar while he was holidaying in Cardiganshire.
