Download or read book Furthermoore written by Gerald Moore and published by Hamish Hamilton. This book was released on 1983 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Orpheus sang, Gerald Moore reminds us, the trees and the mountaintops bowed their heads, plants and flowers blossomed. Can any man-made instrument pierce the heart so directly as the human voice? But the accompanying lute, as he characteristically points out, is not introduced as an afterthought: 'Everything that heard him play, even the billows of the sea hung their heads'. Everyone familiar with Gerald Moore's partnership at the piano with so many great singers during his long career as the most distinguished accompanist of the century will be glad that Shakespeare made the point. Since retiring from the concert platform, Gerald Moore has given us two incomparable books containing his thoughts on Schubert's Song Cycles and the songs of Schumann, also, in Farewell Recital, a volume of reminiscences. Here he looks back on great musicians he has admired and known, ranging from Paderewski to Maria Callas, from Lionel Tertis to Clifford Curzon, from Walter Legge to the Songmakers' Almanac, besides, of course, many of the great singers he has accompanied, from John Coates to Janet Baker. In the most moving section of the book, he writes of how, within the space of a few years, the world of music was deprived of four Olympian musicians, Kathleen Ferrier, Jacqueline du Pre, Dennis Brain and Solomon. In lighter vein, he is revealing about such musicians' haunts as, near the old Queen's Hall, Pagani's restaurant and the neighbouring pub known as 'The Gluepot' (because members of the orchestra tended to stick there), tennis at Wimbledon in the days of Suzanne Lenglen and Elizabeth Ryan, and having, in Paris, to explain cricket to Regine Crespin, Yehudi Menuhin and Rostropovich. -- From dust jacket.
