Synopsis:

Taking its title from a line in The Dream of Gerontius, Elgar's masterpiece which Richard Lewis made his own. There Will I Sing is the official biography of Great Britain's first international tenor.
He enjoyed renown not only in Great Britain, where he was a regular performer at Covent Garden and Glyndebourne, but also in Europe, Australia and New Zealand, and in America, where he was lionised as a star.
Starting from his childhood as Tom Thomas in Manchester, There Will I Sing traces the development of both the man and the singer, using Richard's diaries, which he kept meticulously throughout his life, and calling on the memories of the many people who knew, loved and respected him: his family, his fellow performers, the conductors with whom he worked. A picture emerges not just of a great and professional artist, but of the person behind the headlines: the man whom few people knew.
