	Oxford Music online says the best about his music, "It is difficult to characterize the style of Read's music because each work is approached differently. But whether it be neo-Baroque, neoclassical, neo-Impressionistic or avant-garde, there is always a pervasive spirit of Romanticism. He was a brilliant orchestrator whose fascination with sound led him to investigate and extend the technical and tonal resources of each instrument. Working from an encyclopedic palette of techniques, he produced a kaleidoscopic variety of styles, forms and media. Because of his penchant for exploring different timbral possibilities, many of Read's more than 150 opus numbers appear in multiple versions. A distinctive blend of structure and expressivity, this intensely personal music has never felt the need to bow either to convention or to current musical fashion."
