Over a million people tuned in to hear this live performance, which Beatrice repeated with a nightingale for the BBC every spring until 1942. These broadcasts transformed the public interest in nightingales - a species already in decline. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf Beatrice''s duets with the nightingales touched a chord with the world, her own life proved to be as musical, free-spirited and inspiring. From her early years as a musical prodigy to recording with the most important composers of the day and playing for the wounded in the Second World War, this timely reissue of Patricia Cleveland-Peck''s classic book recounts Beatrice''s rich life vividly and features a new introduction by Maria Popova.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Canongate Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49413028217175,"sku":"9781805300182","price":10.44,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781805300182.jpg?v=1730518902","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-cello-and-the-nightingales-9781805300182","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
