Michael Tippett: The Biography by Oliver Soden

medium-paced

4.5

A really excellent, readable, informative and quite moving biography. I actually don't know Tippett's music all that well, but it's inspired me to listen. And the fall in his popularity - I can't remember the last time I heard anything by him on Radio 3 not from Child of Our Time - is really quite fascinating.
