Ronald Stevenson is one of Britain's leading composers, and almost certainly its most prolific. He is best known for his massive Passacaglia on DSCH - at 80 minutes long, the biggest single-movement work in the piano literature. But he has an enormous number of other fine works to his credit: a vast corpus of original and exciting works for the piano, the instrument of which he is an acknowledged master, a number of innovative and impressive scores for orchestra including four concertos], many attractive pieces of chamber music, and over two hundred songs. All of them testify to Stevenson's enduring belief in the value of melody. Stevenson is also one of the last representatives of the great tradition of Romantic composer-pianists - the tradition that embraced Paderewski and Busoni, two figures with whom he feels a particularly affinity, and whose heritage he has extended, both as performer and creative personality, into the modern age. This collection of essays covers virtually all of Stevenson's enormous output. It features contributions from a number of leading authorities: Malcolm MacDonald on the orchestral music, Ates Orga on the piano works, Alistair Chisholm on the chamber music, Derek Watson on the songs, Harold Taylor on Stevenson's pianism, Jamie Reid Baxter on the choral music and on Stevenson's position in Scottish culture. It also reproduces a selection of Stevenson's exquisite piano miniatures, in facsimiles of the composer's calligraphic script. In a Foreword written shortly before his death, Lord Menuhin describes Stevenson as 'one of the most original minds in the composition of music' and predicts that 'his music will be appreciated more and more'. This book is a major step in that process of discovery. COLIN SCOTT-SUTHERLAND has contributed several articles on Ronald Stevenson's work to various journals, and a chapter on his music to British Music Now.

Raymond Harrison hadn't seen his childhood friend Daniel Thompson in over fifteen years. When he suddenly found himself seated next to Daniel over lunch, he could hardly believe his eyes. Less than a week later Raymond was at the County Morgue asked to identify his friend's body who had been brutally murdered in the parking lot of a local motel. The murder of his friend brings changes to Raymond's routine life in ways he could never have imagined. Questioning by local police was expected, but the introduction of the FBI wasn't. Was the repeated questioning a sign that Raymond was being considered a suspect in Daniel's murder? Returning to a Georgia hometown to attend a funeral, facing grieving parents and other childhood friends whose paths had changes significantly over the years stirred emotions he hadn't planned. While attending his friend's funeral, Raymond is given a FedEx package sent to him by his now murdered friend.

New York Times Bestseller: A history of the S&L scandal that caused a financial disaster for American taxpayers: “Hard to put down” (Library Journal). For most of the 20th century, savings and loans were an invaluable thread of the American economy. But in the 1970s, Congress passed sweeping financial deregulation at the insistence of industry insiders that allowed these once quaint and useful institutions to spread their taxpayer-insured assets into new and risky investments. The looser regulations and reduced federal oversight also opened the industry to an army of shady characters, white-collar criminals, and organized crime groups. Less than 10 years later, half the nation’s savings and loans were insolvent, leaving the American taxpayer on the hook for a large hunk of the nearly half a trillion dollars that had gone missing. The authors of Inside Job saw signs of danger long before the scandal hit nationwide. Decades after the savings and loan collapse, Inside Job remains a thrilling read and a sobering reminder that our financial institutions are more fragile than they appear.

The first full biography of John Ogdon; a tortured genius and arguably the greatest British pianist of all time. From the beginning of his professional career as a soloist John Ogdon was hailed as a musician of rare understanding and phenomenal technical gifts. Able to play and memorize just about any score at sight, tales of his impossible exploits at the keyboard are legion. Yet Ogdon was a man of extremes and it was this very extremity, while the source of much of his gift, that also led to appalling suffering. Here was a man whose feelings were inexpressibly deep and often tormenting, and Ogdon's glory days, following his coveted Tchaikovsky prize in 1962, came to a sudden end in 1973 when he suffered a severe mental breakdown which led to his being certified insane and made patient of the Court of Protection. Over the course of several harrowing years Ogdon would spend large periods of time in and out of psychiatric wards and halfway houses. The drugs and treatments prescribed sometimes affected his coordination, and his reputation suffered as a result. Yet Ogdon's commitment to his art remained undimmed, and until the end he drew out performances of tremendous beauty and conviction from the depths of his ravaged heart. In this illuminating biography, Charles Beauclerk explores the life of a brilliantly inspired artist, for whom music was both his cross and his salvation.
