Description
Arthur Bliss was one of the most important British musicians of his age, and this biography offers a fresh perspective on his life and work.
Born into a family where music played a highly significant role, Bliss's talent emerged early. He served with distinction in the Great War, which had a profound impact on his life and art. After the war, he set the musical world alight with ultra-modern works, earning him a reputation as a trailblazer.
This biography, by Paul Spicer, provides a timely reappraisal of Bliss's music and its significance in the 21st century. Through exclusive access to previously unpublished material, Spicer sheds new light on this complex and fascinating figure, who was both a diplomat and a musician, and whose work continues to be performed and admired today.
