About the Book

In this collection of essays, a group of musical enthusiasts assess the international careers of great Welsh soloists in the context of the national musical tradition. These individual careers are examined against the background of wider local traditions such as the Eisteddfod, religious festivals and male voice choirs. The emphasis of the book will be on the classical and operatic but the sheer variety and perpetually evolving nature of popular music in Wales is reflected in both general essays and in studies of two of the country's most successful entertainers. The book includes detailed chapters of Tom Jones, Shirley Bassey and Bryn Terfel, alongside contemporary music phenomenons such as The Stereophonics, Catatonia and the Manic Street Preachers.

Review :
". . . this excellent symposium on Welsh singers." -New Welsh Review -- "New Welsh Review" "This collection of essays is a celebration of Welsh singing. All the great names are here, including Geraint Evans, Margaret Price, Tom Jones, Dafydd Iwan and Cerys Matthews, but even to mention some of them gives no idea of the book's coverage; over two hundred Welsh singers are listed in the index. Some of the essays deal with individual singers while others cover broader topics; each one is well researched and is written by a contributor who has an intimate knowledge of the subject . . . 'Praise the Lord!' said the Rev. Eli Jenkins, 'We are a musical nation'. Anyone who doubts this has only to read this collection of essays which will give pleasure to anyone who enjoys Welsh singing, past and present, solo and choral, classical and popular." -www.gwales.com -- "www.gwales.com" " . . . the most impressive publication of the year." -Western Mail Magazine -- "Western Mail Magazine" "A classic tribute to Wales' image as the Land of Song and undoubtedly the best book of the year." -Dean Powell, Literary Editor, Western Mail --Dean Powell "Western Mail"
