Robert Crawford

Composer;

Born April 14, 1925; Died January 26, 2012.

Robert Crawford, who has died aged 86, became the resident voice of Edinburgh music, especially fine chamber music, in the 1950s when Scottish composers tended either to move to London or abroad if they desired international fame, or else to live in or around Glasgow if they were content to remain in a musically unproductive and unencouraging Scotland.
