Paul Sacher

Article Abstract:

Paul Sacher was a conductor and player as well as a patron of classical music. He had little love for piano music and did not like the work of some musicians such as Webern and Schoenberg. He inherited wealth and rewarded composers whose work he liked. He was also a major stockholder in Roche Holding as a result of his marriage. He liked a wide range of music and has been credited with rescuing some works which had previously been forgotten, by the composer, Mozart.

Lorenzo the Inconsiderable

Article Abstract:

Florence, Italy is celebrating the quincentenary of Lorenzo de Medici, famous for his patronage of renaissance art. But recent research may indicate that most of the art supposedly commissioned by him may have instead been commissioned by his grandfather, Cosimo, and his father, Piero.

George Harrison

Article Abstract:

Musician George Harrison, who has died at the age of 58, was known as the 'quiet Beatle' who did not like the publicity which came with Beatle fame. The success of the Beatles probably owed as much to luck and managing to capture the spirit of the age as it did to musical ability.
