'In a major work of research, Professor Barbara MaKenzie and her husband Professor Findlay MacKenzie have written the first authoritative record of these singers and their careers.  With the help of numerous interviews they have also attempted to show why it is that Australia has continued to produce so many singers of talent.  The result is set out in almost seventy individual biographies.  Here, music-lovers will find the details they want to know: the dates, the performances, the reviews - and above all, the human stories of men and women whose talents often took them from lonely areas of the Australian bush to the great opera houses of the world.'
