1 Response to Alfred Deller
From Elizabeth Fulford on 18th November 2010
I don't think much of the information re Alfred Deller in this article or anywhere else I have looked on the Internet. There are so-called biographies, but a biography of someone should mention who the parents were and what they did. It should also mention who the person was married to and when and a little background about their life together and where they lived and dates of any children born. I can find nothing about Alfred Deller's personal life, only about his musical achievements. That gives a very limited idea of him as a person.
