This book complements Robert Ponsonby's earlier Musical Heroes, essays about some of the musicians - among them Jacqueline du Pré, Yehudi Menuhin and Mstislav Rostropovich - he knew during his career as an administrator in music and the performing arts. In and Out of Tune supplies an autobiographical context for these essays.
Some reviews of Musical Heroes:
"This delightful book..." (Gramophone)
"... a generous testament to the many classical music celebrities he has encountered..." (Scotsman)
"Ponsonby's essays sum up a golden era of music-making" (Financial Times)
"... a lovely gallery of portraits... a long interview with Pierre Boulez about conducting: this alone is a commendation for the book" (Classical Music)
"Witty, entertaining and beautifully written..." (Amazon.co.uk)
