Neil McCormick vs A Prince Among Stones by Prince Rupert Loewenstein
Telegraph reviewer Neil McCormick didn’t warm to Prince Rupert Loewenstein after reading his memoir A Prince Among Stones:
‘There is something tragically self-denying and wilfully ignorant about an educated man spending three decades on the road with the greatest band on earth and never enjoying a concert, or even approaching a glimmer of understanding of what remarkable forces are at work when these individuals play together. “Bartok it ain’t” is the best he can come up with in terms of critical insight. Maybe that’s what you get when you let an accountant write about music.’
