by Geoffrey Haydon (Author)
John Tavener is Britain's most popular contemporary composer, his status sealed by the use of his music at the funeral of Diana. In this first-ever biography, the author marshals private letters and diaries, the testimony of family and friends, and extensive interviews with Tavener himself, to explore the apparent paradoxes of his character.
