Reviews / Votes
'One comes away from this study with a new sense of the composer, his colleagues and supporters, and the social and political environment in which he lived. Recommended.' CHOICE 'what emerges from Jeffrey Green's book is a full and vivid portrait of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor himself. Because there's so much genuine information about the composer, his music and the world he lived in, there is no need for fantasy.' Classical IconoclastMore details
