Description
Kathleen Ferrier's letters and diaries offer a unique glimpse into the life of England's greatest lyric contralto. Published to mark her centenary, this revised edition includes new material, additional letters, and moving tributes.
Through over 400 pages of correspondence and personal reflections, Ferrier shares stories of her remarkable career, which spanned just ten years but included performances at the Royal Opera House, Carnegie Hall, and private parties for royalty. This collection provides a vivid picture of life during wartime austerity and hardship.
DR Christopher Field, biographer and music historian, has curated this edition to showcase Ferrier's personality - a mix of modesty, ambition, and Lancastrian humour. A fascinating insight into the real person behind the legendary voice.
