Edmund de WaalA most rare book: extraordinarily powerful - magisterial, meticulously rich and unexpected, deeply affecting and human. Philippe SandsIn Times Echo, the award-winning critic and historian Jeremy Eichler makes a revelatory case for the power of music as cultures memory, an art form uniquely capable of carrying forward meaning from the past. While showing how four towering composers - Shostakovich, Britten, Schoenberg, and Strauss - transformed their experiences of the Second World War and the Holocaust into deeply moving works of music, Eichler proposes new ways of listening to history and coming to hear between its notes the resonances of what earlier eras have written, heard, dreamed, hoped, and mourned.
