Abstract
The performance of Havergal Brian's huge and rarely-heard First Symphony, The Gothic (?1919–27), on 25 May 1980 gave us a further opportunity to assess its value. In the past, adulation of the Symphony has been blended with strong criticism. Among the detractors have been those who were unable to follow the logic of a symphony that starts in D minor and ends in E major without (if one believes all that one reads) any good reason; and there have been those who found the opening movement too slight and episodic, too unsymphonic, for the weight cast upon it. It is time to re-examine these criticisms.
