description: Carol Wootton's new book, Singing-Masters of My Soul, is an anthology of radio and TV presentations, essays, fiction and memoirs spanning nearly forty years in the creative life of the Victoria writer, lecturer and musician.The earliest piece is her obituary tribute on CBC Radio in May 1961 to Clara Haskil who now enjoys legendary status among the Great Pianists of this century.In essays such as "Literary Portraits of Mozart" and "Frédéric Chopin and the Polish Ideal" and in TV programs such as "Aimez-vous Brahms?" we meet the great composers. Goethe, Yeats and Byron also stride through these pages.Memoirs include "Slavic Soul in Ladbroke Grove" and fittingly, the book ends with an Address to award-winning music students.
