It is hard to believe that one man could have had so much influence
on the musical life not only of the United Kingdom, but of Europe
and beyond. Yet the pages of this delightful memoir reveal the
extent to which John Manduell's extraordinary vision, his
willingness to venture into unknown territory, his ability to think
the unthinkable, his wisdom and his persuasiveness have helped to
raise the profile of music in so many areas. This is the man who
established the Music Programme at the BBC, who created a Music
Department at the new University of Lancaster, who became Founder
Principal of one of the UK's most exciting conservatoires, the
Royal Northern College of Music, who was Programme Director of the
Cheltenham Festival for twenty-six years, who was involved in the
setting up of 'El Sistema' in Venezuela, and who served on the
Boards of the British Council, the Arts Council, the Association of
European Conservatoires, European Music Year, Northern Ballet, the
European Opera Centre and Covent Garden - and who still found time
to compose. John Manduell writes with clarity, humour, and a
disarming modesty, leaving a discussion of his compositions to
fellow composer Anthony Gilbert. This volume will give enormous
pleasure to those who are interested in learning about one of the
leading figures in British and European music in the second half of
the twentieth century.
