BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE (Calum MacDonald)Baxians everywhere owe Lewis Foreman a profound debt of gratitude and newcomers can rest assured that he is an absorbing and painstaking biographer...mandatory reading. GRAMOPHONE (Andrew Achenbach)A more wide-ranging study of Bax and his work than ever before...This book is a tour de force and the fitting culmination of a lifetime's dedicated research. CLASSIC FM MAGAZINE (Julian Haylock)One of the great biographies of an English composer just got even better. May it snare still more converts to this betwitching composer. CLASSICAL MUSICFor its contribution to the ongoing documentation of an extraordinary period of British musical creativity it is invaluable.
