Who were the singers, musicians, composers, instrumentalists, and conductors who made the music of the 20th century? What inspired Benjamin Britten to compose Peter Grimes? How did music save Malcolm Sargent when he lost his daughter to polio? What is the link between Vaughan Williams and Charles Darwin? What did Edward Elgar do for classical music in Britain? Could any of the members of the Beatles actually read or write music when they first came together? Nicholas Kenyon, with a long-standing career in music and a wealth of knowledge and experience, has carefully selected around 100 entries from the "Dictionary of National Biography" to go in this anthology.
