Eugene Goossens (1893-1962) was an English conductor and composer, part of a distinguished musical family. He worked in Britain, the United States and Australia, and became an important advocate of modern repertory.

In the Pristine catalogue he appears in Stravinsky, British orchestral music and concerto recordings, including material with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra.

Goossens’s conducting was energetic, colourful and strongly engaged with twentieth-century music. He helped bring new orchestral works into public performance rather than leaving them to gather dust on brave-looking shelves.

His page is justified by repeated catalogue presence and wider career importance. Goossens gives the artist index a sharp modernist podium profile.
