Exhaustive and eloquent
Michael Kimmelman, New York Review of Books
Walsh's scrupulousness (also evident in this volume's predecessor) in contextualising and considering quotes, hearsays and other evidence reveals a more complete, complex picture... But what emerges most powerfully is a penetrating vision of a creative mind, of how it made its decisions and adopted its stances, of how, often, it didn't quite understand itself
Stephen Pettitt, Sunday Times
Huge...Precise and sensitive, sensible in sorting through some tricky issues and - not least - quite beautifully written
Greg Sandow, Scotsman
A masterly biography, both broad and deep
Peter Conrad, Observer
One of the finest music biographies of our age
Damian Thompson, Daily Telegraph
Whether taken on its own or with the first volume, this is a magnificent work of biography... A stunning achievement
Simon Heffer, Literary Review
Walsh's eloquence, clarity and grasp of the composer's cultural milieu mean that this book is always gripping
