“The prime academic interest of Simon Collier, who has died aged 64, was Chilean political history, and he co-edited the groundbreaking Cambridge Encyclopaedia Of Latin America And The Caribbean (1985). Yet it is for his passion for Argentinian tango, and his The Life, The Music And Times Of Carlos Gardel (1986), and his biography of composer Astor Piazzolla (2000) that he will be best remembered”—The Guardian
Simon Collier donated over a thousand books, CDs, LPs and cassettes, about two-thirds of which are tango related, to the Music Library. Collier also donated more than twelve hundred non-music-related titles to Heard Libraries, principally on Latin American studies.
