'Conrad Wilson's blend of erudition, wit and scrupulous accuracy, laced with racy anecdotal evidence, makes his writing approachable, whichever level of engagement the reader has with "classical" music. These volumes will be invaluable.' (John Wallace)
'I hugely admire Conrad Wilson's writing, and he ably achieves his aim of widening the audience for classical music.' (Sir Brian McMaster)
