Book Description Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Repair to D/J. Daring to Excel: The Story of the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain. Until the Second World Wae, Britain was known as das Land ohne Musik - the land without music. But during the war years, working all over the country as a pianist, conductor and teacher, Ruth Railton realised this was no longer true; there was a resurgence of interest in music and much fine talent among the young. Shere therefore decided to found a school to provide the best training for the most talented young musicians in the British Isles. The new educational philosophy appeared to provide the right atmosphere - yet at first the idea for the NYO seemed impossible, and later its high standards were perceived as a threat. But in the teeth of opposition from teachers' organisations and the unions, and with no money or premises, Dr. Railton persuaded the leading musicians of the day to give their time and talents to the young players she chose. As the orchestra developed and earned the praise of audiences and critics, the NYO was hailed as 'the world's finest amateur orchestra'. Those who passed through her hands are now numbered among the world's leading solists and conductors. The story of the founding and early years of the NYO is a tribute to all those who made it possible, and a profoundly moving, inspiring demonstration of the power of love to overcome poverty, opposition and disaster in the service of a cause. Illustrated. 466 pp (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
