An Unforgettable Woman by Lewis Stevens
Rosa Newmarch,(1857-1940) was an extraordinary woman. Nowadays she is best known as the programme writer for the Promenade Concerts from 1908 to 1927. But equally important she was instrumental in introducing to the English concert-going public, music by many Russian and Czech composers and also by Sibelius.
It is a most readable account of part of an important period in music history at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth century; for it we are greatly in the debt of Lewis Stevens-- Graham Melville-Mason
