Description
Summary:	"England's most famous maestro was Sir Malcolm Sargent, the nation's 'ambassador with a baton' and friend to royalty. Sargent was despised by the musical establishment for his populism and showmanship. Yet ordinary music-lovers had been devoted to him, not the least for his heroics during the Blitz." "Tunes of Glory is as much an exploration of celebrity and the English psyche as the story of one man. It is the defining work on an extraordinary life drawn from the author's exclusive and unlimited access to Sargent's private letters, photographs and diaries."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
