Thanks, cilgwyn, for offering your personal assessment of Holbrooke's style. "odd,garish,often gothic imagination and atmosphere" - Yes, that quite fit's it. Or at least some of it. I have listened to a lot Holbrooke again and again for some years now but lately have decided to give up. ;)
BTW, talking about style reminds me of a strange stylistic influence on Holbrooke: does any of you remember the String Sextet released by Marco Polo? Listen to the first movement, the first Allegro subject after the Adagio Introduction. This is pure Svendsen!!! ;D
