To everyone's amazement, MacMillan's work was greeted with a warmth and intensity rarely experienced in Britain after the death of Benjamin Britten. The work's success brought a new realisation: that it was possible for a modern composer to address an audience with the emotional directness and narrative power of Tchaikovsky, Mahler or Shostakovich without sacrificing his contemporary 'edge'.
