## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Book on Bax
*by R***R on 11 February 2007*

At long last this masterly biography of a great composer has re-emerged, now in a substantially augmented third edition. First published in 1983, this third edition has been expanded to incorporate some of the recently released correspondence between Bax and his long time lover, Harriet Cohen which is quite explicit at times.As the title suggests, this is not just a biography of a very remarkable man, but also a commentary on the extraordinary renaissance of serious composition that occurred in England (perhaps that should be Britain!) in the first half of the twentieth century.His privileged upbringing and studies at the Royal Academy of Music in London are vividly described. The Irish /Celtic influences, adventures in Russia and Tintagel, the beginning of the long relationship with Harriet Cohen are explored. Then that golden period, between the wars, when Bax was arguably, the finest symphonist in the country and his friendship with the man who was eventually to create the greatest British symphonic cycle, Ralph Vaughan Williams.Finally, Master of the King's Music, and the slow Sibelian decline in composition. Incredibly, this major composer lived out his last decade, more or less unnoticed, in a Sussex Pub, the White Horse at Storrington. He died in Ireland , his spiritual homeland.This book is a model biography, highly informative, easy to read and referenced in great detail, essential reading not only for those interested in this composer but twentieth century, European music in general.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ and a good read too
