Quotes about Harris
How blessed are they who are born deaf, and are spared the agony of listening to the hideous sounds of Symphony No. 3 by Roy Harris, just performed by the BBC Symphony Orchestra. Roy Harris should have stuck to truck driving instead of insulting music-lovers with his senseless noise.
Letter to the Editor of Radio Times (1942), as quoted in Lexicon of Musical Invective : Critical Assaults on Composers Since Beethoven's Time (1965) by Nicolas Slonimsky, p. 107
