As an author and composer, he was among the first of his time to transcend the academic and performing classical music worlds with a legacy that includes the scholarly realisations of the early Italian operatic composers, Monteverdi and Cavalli. The many distinguished and colourful colleagues he associated with at Cambridge and the performing arts communities of New York, London, Glyndebourne, Manchester and throughout Europe included several of the musical, theatrical, literary and social icons of the time, including members of the British Royal family, Joan Sutherland, Wynton Marsalis, Sir Peter Shaffer and Sir Peter Hall amongst others. In his memoir Music Made Me, he shares how these friendships have enriched his life as a musician and continue to do so as an active octogenarian. His account of aspects of his life and experiences in this impressive community of friends and associates is poignant and punctuated with colourful anecdotes, both thought-provoking and entertaining. HRH The Prince of Wales provides a lively foreward to these recollections and offers his own on the influence of Maestro Leppard's music and friendship has had on three generations of his family and their contemporaries.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49525267824913,"sku":"GOR003859030","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1848766327.jpg?v=1751091737"},{"product_id":"raymond-leppard-on-music-book-raymond-leppard-9780912483962","title":"Raymond Leppard on Music","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49581629341969,"sku":"GOR009087599","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0912483962.jpg?v=1750947521"},{"product_id":"authenticity-in-music-book-raymond-leppard-9780571100880","title":"Authenticity in Music","description":"Since World War II there has been an increase in interest in \"early music\", accompanied by much debate as to how it should be performed. In this work leading conductor, harpsichordist and scholar Raymond Leppard presents an analysis of the importance of early music (including works by Monteverdi, Handel and Gluck), in which he attempts to show how a well-informed but creative approach to the question of \"authenticity\" is necessary for performers to be able to communicate the essential qualities of the music to the audiences of today.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49607144472849,"sku":"GOR001392441","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49629317824785,"sku":"GOR002798967","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0571100880.jpg?v=1751040715"},{"product_id":"l-incoronazione-di-poppea-book-raymond-leppard-9780571500116","title":"L'incoronazione di Poppea","description":"The vocal score for Monteverdi’s L'incoronazione di Poppea (The Coronation of Poppaea). First performed at the Teatro Santi Giovanni e Paolo in Venice during the 1643 carnival season, it was one of the first operas to use historical events and people.  It tells the story of Poppaea, mistress of the Roman emperor Nero, and her desire to be crowned empress. Written when the genre of opera was only a few decades old, the music for L'incoronazione di Poppea has been praised for its originality, its melody, and for its reflection of the human attributes of its characters. The work helped to redefine the boundaries of theatrical music and established Monteverdi as the leading musical dramatist of his time.    This edition has been realised by British conductor Raymond Leppard following his production of the opera at the Glyndebourne Festival in 1962.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49629060628753,"sku":"GOR011391197","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50357311078673,"sku":"CIN0571500110G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0571500110.jpg?v=1751359066"},{"product_id":"symphony-no-9-in-d-minor-rpo-cd-4011222044518","title":"Symphony No. 9 in D Minor (Rpo)","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49691066958097,"sku":"DVDB000051KXAVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B000051KXA.jpg?v=1750691556"},{"product_id":"giuliani-guitar-concertos-no-1-3-rodrigo-concierto-de-aranjuez-cd-5099973530527","title":"Giuliani: Guitar Concertos No. 1\u00263, Rodrigo: Concierto de Aranjuez","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49702667452689,"sku":"DVDB00AB7J9U4LN","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51860003619089,"sku":"DVDB00AB7J9U4VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B00AB7J9U4.jpg?v=1750875185"},{"product_id":"gluck-orfeo-ed-euridice-complete-cd-0022924586422","title":"Gluck : Orfeo Ed Euridice (Complete)","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49852511027473,"sku":"DVDB000005E98VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B000005E98.jpg?v=1750840683"},{"product_id":"la-calisto-leppard-lpo-baker-bowman-cotrubas-cd-0028947621768","title":"La Calisto (Leppard, Lpo, Baker, Bowman, Cotrubas)","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50046828806417,"sku":"DVDB0002UJJBEVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B0002UJJBE.jpg?v=1751319917"},{"product_id":"l-ormindo-rare-book-raymond-leppard-1659696088bph","title":"L'Ormindo","description":"1968.
