Item description from seller

Paperback. In this major re-examination of her public and private life, Wanda Larson recreates and interprets one of the most interesting of 20th century lives. Queen Elisabeth of Belgium was not only a predominant factor in Belgium life through two world wars, she was one of ther generations's most brilliant musical organizers and patrons. Elisabeth has had a profound influence on contemporary piano competitions and she was crucial in the revival of Vivaldi, Mahler and others. The author discusses the historical context for this unusual life seen against the backdrop of her Bavarian Wittelsbach ancestors, her 'accidental' queenship, her popularity with her people and, most of all, her refusal to give up her musical career despite enormous family pressure. This is a re-examination of the life and works of Queen Mother Elisabeth of Belgium. She not only played a major role in Belgian life through two world wars, but also acted as a key patron and organiser of European musical life for over 40 years. This item is printed on demand.
