Hugh Ottaway

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hugh Ottaway (b. 1925; d. Malvern, 6 November 1979) was a prominent British writer on concert music. His most significant contributions were as a commentator on that portion of twentieth-century music which retained an allegiance to tonality; thus Nielsen, Shostakovich and Sibelius featured largely in his output. He was especially associated with British tonal composers such as Edmund Rubbra and Robert Simpson.

Ottaway studied history at Exeter University.
