Book Overview

by Michael Moran (Author)

From silent cinema pianist born in the Australian Bush to celebrity virtuoso entertaining Royalty in Mayfair--an extraordinarily magical and inspirational musical odyssey.

The concert pianist Edward Cahill (1885-1975) rose to prominence from humble beginnings in the inauspicious setting of 19th-century rural Queensland.

'With what vigour, what virtuosity and poetry this master plays the piano!'
--Chronique musicale, Montreux, 5 May 1939
