Music of all kinds has always been important for me - but Seth's novel brought a new dimension to violin playing and the world of musicians. These cds offer plenty in their own right but their relationship to the novel makes them a unique experience Having thoroughly enjoyed the novel, I was delighted to see that this support was available.

Seth himself has chosen the performances and the playing is breath-taking! Included is Schubert's, 'Trout', which whisks me back to High School and the end of year production - real nostalgia! Vaughan Williams/The Lark Ascending, simply captivating! [..] Certainly a worthy investment and a lovely way to spend a summer's evening with a glass (or two)of chilled white wine!

The pieces and recordings are very good and the combination of the book and music is a whole new entertainment experience! I only wish I'd waited to read the book until the CD arrived in the post - but the book was so good I couldn't put it down! Well worth it.

Decca have chosen classic performances. The music of course stands on its own but the dual audio and textual experience brings alive both media. A triumph!!!!
