Peggy Zina

A precocious violin talent, Bloch left home at the age of seventeen to study with the illustrious Belgian violinist and composer Eugène Ysaÿe, who regognised his pupil's extraordinary creative potential and persuaded him to pursue composition. Bloch's Violin Cocnerto, an underrated rarity, is one of his most important works of the 1930s. Although Bloch attributed the major themes in the Concerto to American Indian songs heard on a visit to New Mexico, he also described the work as portraying 'the complex, glowing, agitated soul that I feel vibrating through the Bible'. The Suite hébraïque, which draws on traditional melodies to evoke a sense of nostalgia, and the exotic tryptich Baal Shem (Three Pictures of Chassidic Life), are indelibly associated with Bloch's 'Jewish works'.

Standing at only 4' 9", 13-year-old child prodigy Margaret Annemarie Battavio was nicknamed Little Peggy March by her record company. Within two years she'd topped the Billboard 100 in April 1963 with the single I Will Follow Him and in the process became, at the age of 15, the youngest ever artist to do so. It's a record which still stands to this day. Although I Will Follow remains her biggest selling single, March enjoyed further chart success in the States with three more top 30 hits one of which, Goodbye Love also made it into the UK Singles Chart.
