It is at last possible to see into the heart of one of the most extraordinary and deeply feeling creative geniuses of the 20th century'. Kevin Bowyer, Music Magazine 'an eminently readable resume of the life and work of an intellectual giant whose successor is unlikely to be found within the next century.....I have thoroughtly enjoyed reading Paul Rapoport's book and can recommend it to anyone wishing to learn more about this composer.....I think that Paul Rapoport's critical appraisal will go a long way to explaining some of the myths surrounding this enigmatic figure of 20th century music and I hope that many of our perceptive readers will rush to obtain the book!'.
