Product Description
In 1953 Kathleen Ferrier, England's greatest lyric contralto, lost her courageous battle with breast cancer at the age of 41. Her name endures to this day, for she struck a chord with a wide-ranging public - in concerts, on records, on the radio and in the opera house - despite a career which lasted barely ten years. Within half that time this former telephone exchange operator was singing on stage at Covent Garden, before royalty at private parties, and at New York's Carnegie Hall. She was surely fun to know: this collection of nearly 400 letters and twelve years of her personal diaries, first published by Boydell Press in 2003 and now republished in a revised enlarged paperback edition to mark the centenary of her birth in 1912, gives a vivid picture of a life which illuminated the war and post-war years of austerity and hardship. Her personality was a mix of extreme modesty and self-determined ambition, topped with a mischievously blunt sense of earthy Lancastrian humor. Until now, Kathleen Ferrier has been a glorious voice, but through the pages of these fascinating letters and diaries we get to the real person.
