Review Quotes
Matthew Rhys
“Having experienced Owain’s perfectly paced conducting, it is little wonder that his book is of the same tempo. Readers are in for a virtuoso performance with this autobiography.”
Cliff Morgan
“Turn the pages slowly and relish this wonderful tale of a man born in the land of song, myths, and legends, who with his baton has brought glorious music to Wales and the world.”
Julian Lloyd Webber
“For the last forty years, Owain Arwel Hughes has been at the forefront of British musical life. He has a fascinating tale to tell, and tells it with the same easygoing charm and professionalism that has always characterized his music making.”
