Format: Paperback
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Confessions of a Music Critic grew out of one of the fascinating talks the author regularly gives on the music club circuit and draws on his experiences of over 50 years of writing for the Birmingham Post as well as periodicals. Christopher describes his Anglo-Italian upbringing, moving on to take in the many countries he has visited whilst writing features and reviews, including tours by the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra with Sir Simon Rattle. He also covers school teaching in the Birmingham area, lecturing at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, his conducting experiences and even clients at his ill-starred music shop in Moseley. We are taken through the CBSO years from the Town Hall Birmingham to Symphony Hall and from Louis Fremaux to Mirga Grazinyte-Tyla. There are some fascinating tales of world leading soloists and conductors and many stories that are both funny and poignant.
