Tim Bouverie has nurtured a passion for classical music since he was five years old. Having studied history at Christ Church Oxford, he worked as a political journalist before becoming a full-time historian and writer. His first book Appeasing Hitler: Chamberlain Churchill and the Road to War was a Sunday Times bestseller and was shortlisted for the Orwell Prize. While working on a sequel on Allied diplomacy during the Second World War, he has been the Alistair Horne Fellow at St Antony's College, Oxford.
This is exactly the book I want to read at the moment. Presented with style and humour, the choice of 100 pieces immediately starts you off a hunt for your own favourites... It's a perfect introduction to classical music for a beginner, a companion for the music lover, and sheer entertainment for both. * Joanna Lumley * Tim Bouverie has ridden to the rescue of all those like me who are untrained enthusiasts. We enjoy music, but are unconfident in their taste, unknowledgeable about composers and patchy in their appreciation. This book is a handy, discriminating guide, but always playful, sometimes gleeful, occasionally giving surprise ambushes, and never bossy or solemn. Time and again it's improved my listening hours. * Richard Davenport-Hines *
