About Maestro, This is Your Life!

Acclaimed novelist Alastair Sim and award-winning pianist Matthew Shiel take us on an unforgettable journey through his impoverished childhood, his hearing loss and depression, his love affairs and his international recognition and fame.

A fascinating mix of acting, biographical documentary and live music-making brings the maestro’s life – to life!

'Matthew Shiel shone' (4**** - ThisWeekCulture.com).

'A wonderful new Scottish crime fiction voice' (Laura Marney).
