Portrait of the conductor Sir Colin Davis, who died in April 2013, which reveals a reluctant maestro. Shortly before his final illness, he spoke at length to John Bridcut about his life, his early life; his family; his career as a conductor; his love of music and the art and skills of conducting; his relationships with orchestras, other conductors and with the Royal Opera House; his musical passions; his religion and beliefs; and finally his thoughts on death and dying.
Davis became famous in the 1960s as Sir Malcolm Sargent's abrasive successor at the Proms, but in a life full of controversy he rejected celebrity and disowned his early career. The angry young man became the pre-eminent British conductor of his generation, especially associated with the music of Mozart, Beethoven, Berlioz, Sibelius, Elgar and Tippett.
