Ken Russell is one of the most original, vibrant and groundbreaking film and television directors of the recent era. His finest films such as "Women in Love", "The Music Lovers", and "The Devils" are milestones in cinema history. Classical music is a passion of his and for the first time in these 'novel biographies' he focuses a literary rather than camera lens on the private lives of Beethoven, Brahms, Elgar, and Delius - with no holds barred!
