Hans Keller 1919-1985: A musician in dialogue with his times is the
first full biography of Hans Keller and the first appearance in
print of many of his letters. Eight substantial chapters,
integrating original documents with their historical context, show
the development of Keller's ideas in response to the people and
events that provoked them. A musician of penetrating insight,
Keller was also an exceptional writer and broadcaster, whose
remarkable mind dominated British musical life for forty years
after the Second World War. It was a vital time for music in
Britain, fuelled by unprecedented public investment in the arts and
education and the rapid development of recording and broadcasting.
Keller was at the centre of all that was happening and his
far-sighted analysis of the period is deeply resonant today.
Illustrated throughout by extracts from Keller's writings, diaries
and correspondence with musicians including Arnold Schoenberg,
Benjamin Britten and Yehudi Menuhin, this book vividly conveys the
depth of his thought and the excitement of the times. Published for
the centenary of Keller's birth, it is an illuminating celebration
of his life and works for all those interested in the music and
history of post-war Britain.
