Hailed in the 60's not only as the finest British pianist of his
generation with a glittering international career and record
contract with EMI Music, but as a musical genius of extraordinary
ability. In 1973 at the pinnacle of his fame John Ogdon was struck
down inexplicably by the first in a series of severe mental
breakdowns. In this moving account his wife, concert pianist Brenda
Lucas Ogdon, tells both of the happy years of touring, when success
piled upon success and of the distressing years of illness with
their long search for effective treatment. John died tragically and
suddenly from undiagnosed Diabetes and Pneumonia, in 1989. He was
mourned by countless friends and admirers.
