Description: In May 1924, the BBC broadcast a miracle to the world: a wild nightingale singing a duet with a remarkable young cellist called Beatrice Harrison. Over a million people tuned in to hear this live performance which Beatrice repeated with a nightingale for the BBC every spring until 1942. These broadcasts transformed the public interest in nightingales - a species already in decline. If Beatrice's duets with the nightingales touched a chord with the world her own life proved to be as musical free - spirited and inspiring. From her early years as a musical prodigy to recording with the most important composers of the day and playing for the wounded in the Second World War this timely reissue of Patricia Cleveland - Peck's classic book recounts Beatrice's rich life vividly and features a new introduction by Maria Popova.
