Bennett/ Connolly/ BBC Scottish Symphony Orch - Sir Richard Rodney Bennett 3Bennett had a gift for human relationships family, partners, friends, and fellow artists. Occasionally, his personal loyalty could become an obstacle to his creativity but overwhelmingly, his relationships were an inspiration. Each of the four works recorded here has connections to a significant individual in his life. The composition of his First Symphony coincided with the arrival in his life of Dan Klein, who would become his long term partner.
