Malcolm Sargent: A Biography traces his remarkable rise from a modest upbringing in Stamford, Lincolnshire, to the glittering heights of the international concert stage, where he became the principal conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra and a beloved figurehead of the BBC Proms. Reid presents a vivid and nuanced portrait of a man whose flamboyant personality, meticulous musicianship, and tireless dedication made him both a public icon and a complex private figure. Written with warmth and scholarly rigor, the narrative illuminates Sargent's enduring relationships with the great orchestras and soloists of his era, as well as the personal tragedies — including the death of his daughter — that shaped his indomitable spirit. This is an essential read for lovers of classical music history and anyone captivated by the drama of a life lived entirely in service to music.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48792238227675,"sku":"2026600000302-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/33a29c67-27b1-4745-b457-f116838d0cbb.png?v=1779273774","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026600000302-secondhand-malcolm-sargent-a-biography","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
