THIS MONTH’S CONTRIBUTORS
George Hall Critic and writer
‘As someone who first encountered the legendary Italian tenor Enrico Caruso on buying a 45rpm EP more than 50 years ago, I still register a frisson on experiencing one of the greatest voices ever to record.’ Page 26
Richard Bratby Critic and writer
‘There’s no such thing as a typical orchestra, but when I started researching the history of the CBSO I never expected quite so many surprises – the low points as well as some remarkable success stories.’ Page 38
Jessica Duchen Critic and writer
‘As a biographer of Erich Korngold, I’d waited all my life for John Wilson’s CD of the composer’s Symphony. Wilson totally nails it, and likewise much other music; it was a treat to ask him how he does it.’ Page 44
