Description
Kathleen Ferrier's letters and diaries offer a unique glimpse into the life of one of Britain's most beloved vocalists. This collection of 300+ letters and twelve years of personal diaries provides a sunny picture of her life in the post-war years, revealing a mix of modesty and ambition, as well as a mischievously blunt sense of humour. Ferrier's remarkable career, which spanned just ten years, was marked by her striking voice and versatility on stage and record. Despite her untimely death at the age of 41, Ferrier's legacy endures, thanks in part to this previously unpublished collection of personal writings. Christopher Fielding, a conductor and music historian, has brought these letters and diaries to light, offering a fresh perspective on one of Britain's most beloved vocalists.
