The extraordinary story of Malcolm Williamson is one of rare
musical talent combined with outrageous behaviour. An Australian,
Williamson was the first non-Briton to hold the post of Master of
the Queen's Music. He was appointed in 1975 and looked set to
embellish his already illustrious career as a composer. By the time
of his death in 2003 he was unproductive and largely forgotten.
Authors Anthony Meredith and Paul Harris tell his bizarre story
unflinchingly, sifting fact from fiction and offering a strong case
for re-evaluating this flawed man and multi-talented musician. An
investigation of the myths, rumours and half truths surrounding
this controversial and misunderstood figure. The authors reveal the
rift between Williamson and the Royal family. He was pointedly not
invited to contribute to several high profile occasions including
the wedding of Charles and Diana. They discuss if his failed
marriage and open bisexuality was deemed beyond the pale at the
Palace.
