- Summary
- The music of the British composer Michael Tippett - including the oratorio 'A Child of Our Time', five operas, and four symphonies - is among the most visionary of the 20th century. But little has been written about his extraordinary life. In this long-awaited first biography, Oliver Soden weaves a century-spanning narrative of epic scope and penetrating insight. Soden has discovered troves of unpublished letters and manuscripts, to which he was given unprecedented access, and recorded moving interviews with Tippett's friends and colleagues. He paints a memorable portrait of a powerful intellect and infectious personality: charming, stubborn, and great fun. But he also uncovers the sorrows and secrets that Tippett stowed away beneath his cheerfulness, not least the darker reaches of some tempestuous and often tragic love affairs
