Sophia Lambton became a professional classical music critic at the age of seventeen when she began writing for Musical Opinion, Britain's oldest music magazine.

This richly detailed account of Maria Callas’ life was published to coincide with her one hundredth birthday in December 2023 and is the winner of the 2024 ARSC Award for Best Historical Research in Recorded Classical Music.
