Eine tolle Frau, Künstlerin und Persönlichkeit! Nosbuschs Leben liest sich spannend und informativ. Sie gewährt tiefe Einblicke in ihren persönlichen und beruflichen Werdegang und erweist sich als nahbare und bodenständige Frau, die sich ihren Erfolg hart erarbeitet hat. Ich habe es sehr gerne gelesen!
Ein wunderbares Buch! Wer wie ich bisher glaubte, mit klassischer Musik nichts am Hut zu haben, der ist hier genau richtig! Vollkommen unprätentiös stellt uns die Autorin an jedem Tag des Jahres eine kleine musikalische Kostbarkeit vor. So wird klassische Musik zum Genuss, egal, ob Sie sonst Beyoncé oder David Bowie hören! Also; Streaming-Dienst einschalten und los!
