Publisher's Blurb
Chaliapin, Casals, Menhuin, Elisabeth Schumann and Kathleen Ferrier are among the many that he has known both on and off the platform.
In these by now famous and much-loved memoirs, he entertainingly depicts their world of constant rehearsal, triumphant performance and occasional disappointment. He can be warm in his praise and is sharp in his observations, if not criticisms: and in a tale told, as one would expect, with perfect pitch there emerges a humorous picture of the 'unashamed accompanist' himself. Personal remarks:
This book lives up to the publisher's blurb and is great entertainment.
