Best Seat in the House: Love Letters to a Profession

A touching and thoughtful memoir that moves from Webber’s own vast experience to provide a sweeping panorama of the classical music world. With rollicking humour and a sharp eye, he delves into the deep difficulty of high performance, the mysteries of musical collaboration, the enduring genius of the great composers, the important role of audiences, and, above all else, the relevance of great art to an often troubled world.
