Summary: "From Paganini to Piaf, Bach to the Beatles, The Music Explorer is a journey through music of all kinds - and the rich cast of characters dedicated to writing and performing it. Guy Noble has written a wonderfully entertaining and informative miscellany of pieces featuring conductors, accompanists, singers, recording producers, broadcasters, pop groups and violinists (though not saxophonists, except on the cover). A special feature is a series of interviews with composers who have graciously returned from the afterlife to be interviewed about the trips and tribulations they suffered during their lifetimes." -- Book cover.
