Beyond the Notes
We knew from her recordings that Susan Tomes is a superb chamber player; now we know that she's a superb writer too. Michael Church, INDEPENDENT Professional musicians will sigh with recognition at page after page; readers...will have their eyes opened to the realities of the performer's life. I found the book absolutely enthralling. CLASSICAL MUSIC Pianist Susan Tomes puts across her ideas about her art in writing with the same expertise and sensitivity as in her playing. In a world where musicians are often misunderstood, this book provides insights into the multifaceted life of a performing musician; sometimes inspiring, often beautiful, and occasionally depressing. . Tomes picks apart the dynamics of a chamber ensemble with the delicacy of an expert surgeon. A fascinating volume. ***** [five stars, Best Buy of the Month, August 2004]. CLASSIC FM MAGAZINE This book reveals [Tomes'] talents as a writer, too, one with a capacity for imaginative enquiry and a gift for the telling phrase... as natural and compelling a communicator in words as she is in music.
