Sir Arthur Sullivan called Edward German 'the one man to follow me who has genius'. Notwithstanding German's success in operetta, orchestral music was always central to his life. Stylistic affiliations with French and Russian music - not that common in British music of the time - are often evident. German, like Elgar, was a stylistic cosmopolitan whose music is, paradoxically, quintessentially English, and the 'Norwich' is indeed an outstanding late 19th-century British symphony.
