Synopsis

A pocket guide, organized by postal district, to London's 50 most famous classical music buildings and locations. With a photograph for every site plus nearest Tube stop, the book offers anecdotes about composers, musicians and conductors who have lived and performed in the capital. Did you know that Handel composed The Messiah a few yards from New Bond Street in just over 3 weeks? That George Bernard Shaw attended the grand opening of Abbey Road recording studios? That Sir Thomas Beecham mocked a famous venue's echoing acoustics by saying that it was "the only place a British composer could be sure of hearing his work twice?
