Synopsis

In "Bell's Cathedrals: The Cathedral Church of Ely," W. D. Sweeting offers an in-depth exploration of one of England's most remarkable Gothic structures. This richly detailed account not only examines the architectural grandeur of Ely Cathedral but also delves into its historical and spiritual significance, capturing the essence of medieval Britain. Sweeting's prose weaves together lyrical descriptions and scholarly analysis, making the text accessible to both historians and general readers. Encased in the broader context of the "Bell's Cathedrals" series, his work emphasizes the role of cathedrals in shaping community identity and faith through the ages. W. D. Sweeting's passion for ecclesiastical architecture and history is rooted in his background as an academic and cleric. His scholarly pursuits have enabled him to bridge the gap between historical architecture and contemporary religious practice. His keen insights into the sociopolitical factors affecting cathedral construction during the Middle Ages provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of Ely's architectural significance and enduring legacy. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in British architecture, medieval history, or the spiritual narratives embedded in monumental structures. Sweeting's compelling narrative invites readers to appreciate not just the aesthetic beauty of Ely Cathedral, but also the rich tapestry of stories that have unfolded within its hallowed walls.

    Nancy Shear was only fifteen when she began sneaking into Philadelphia Orchestra concerts through the stage door, and seventeen when she was hired as a member of the orchestra's library staff to help prepare the music; one year later, she became Leopold Stokowski's musical assistant. Being young and female, she was a pioneer in both positions. 
     
     
     
    I Knew a Man Who Knew Brahms takes listeners into the homes, studios, and minds of legendary artists with whom Shear shared close personal relationships, including Stokowski, Mstislav Rostropovich, Eugene Ormandy, and others with the Philadelphia Orchestra. Many of these brilliant and talented artists were also outrageous, egocentric, and tyrannical. Throughout this book, Shear topples more than a few revered musicians from their podiums and their pedestals. 
     
     
     
    A literary welcome mat to the beautiful world of classical music, this memoir is accessible and engaging for all. It brings listeners into rehearsals and concert halls, revealing the choices musicians must consider, and what conductors, players, and composers really do. A heartwarming story about passion, determination, and survival, I Knew a Man Who Knew Brahms explores music at its core. You will never listen to music the same way again, after hearing Nancy Shear's story.
