4.0 out of 5 stars
A readable introduction to this great English composer.,
By
This review is from: Elgar (The Illustrated Lives of the Great Composers) (Paperback)
How did a forty-one-year-old violin teacher in a provincial English town suddenly become one of Europe's most feted composers? Simon Mundy tells the Elgar story with relish and care, and anyone who knows Elgar's music will be fascinated. There are more detailed biographies of Elgar, notably the ones by Michael Kennedy and J.N. Moore, but, if you'd like a concise portrait of the man who wrote the Enigma Variations, the Dream of Gerontius and other landmarks in modern music, you'll enjoy this book. |
