520 8 "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
twentieth 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of unpublished letters and manuscripts, and recorded
moving interviews with Tippett's friends and colleagues.
He paints a 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. Soden's achievement is to have enriched our
understanding not only of Tippett but of his times"--From
