Inhaltsangabe

The Amadeus Quartet, which was active from 1948 until 1987 when its viola player Peter Schidlof died, is probably the most famous and distinguished string quartet of the 20th century. It played to a wide variety of audiences on innumerable occasions in all the major countries of the world, and produced a galaxy of recordings, many of which are still available. Muriel Nissel is the wife of Siegmund Nissel, the second violinist. Her book tells the extraordinary and moving story of the Quartet, with its many triumphs and its periodic setbacks and traumas, from the inside for the 40 years from its inception during the time after the Second World War up to the 1980s. She reveals how it molded the lives of the four players and their wives and families in unexpected ways, and how they all became inextricably involved in this unique joint enterprise.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

After graduating from Oxford University with a degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics, Muriel Nissel worked in the Civil Service until she married Siegmund Nissel in 1957. In the early years when she was at home looking after their two young children, she carried out research into the economics of the arts for a study based at Princeton University in the States. She was also appointed a magistrate. When the children went to school, she joined the Central Statistical Office and was the first editor of Social Trends, a highly successful annual government publication, now in its 28th year. She left the Civil Service in 1976 and in the following year joined the Policy Studies Institute, researching mainly into the family and the arts. She was a member of the Gulbenkian Enquiry into the Training of Musicians, which reported in 1977. She is now retired but still works on a freelance basis..
