A conversational journey with a man whose love of music is only matched by his encyclopaedic knowledge of the historical context of its creation and creators, Musings of an Old Muso is a delightfully absorbing and engaging read.

 

Via the author’s warm and authoritative voice, the reader is drawn into the lives, the minds and the hearts of the great composers of the Classical, Romantic, and early Modern eras, and is positioned to consider them and their creations in the light of the author’s sharp evocation of their cultural and political backgrounds.
