Oliver Knussen's Symphony No.2 for High Soprano and Chamber Orchestra.
Published by Faber Music.

'I hear in this Symphony an extraordinary feeling for the sound of poetry and for its meanings, a sure skill in timing and in plotting the motions from event to event, and beyond any question, that gift without which you might as well give up being a composer, the gift of writing music that keeps you fully absorbed.'

~ Michael Steinberg, Boston Globe, March 1972
