While the Music Lasts
Author: Alice McVeigh
Publisher: Warleigh Hall Press
ISBN: 191688234X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 10
Book Description
A novel by Alice McVeigh (Second edition) “This portrayal of the psychosexual duet between men and women, and of the music-making process in a symphony orchestra, sings with lyrical intensity and eloquent feeling” (Publishers Weekly) Life in the (fictional) Orchestra of London as seen through the eyes of several musicians. Perfectly representing the disparate attitudes, passions and ambitions of a London orchestra full of vital characters, it features love affairs, musical rivalries, world tour disasters and a highly unusual codicil to a will. Originally "big-five"-published, this is based upon McVeigh’s experiences as a cellist, when she performed all over the world with orchestras including the BBC Symphony Orchestra and the Royal Philharmonic. "The orchestra becomes a universe in microcosm - all human life is here" (The Sunday Times) "A very enjoyable novel - and not quite as light as it pretends to be." (The Sunday Telegraph)
