About This Item
Somerville MA: Candlewick Press, 2015. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover in a bright, unclipped dust jacket, 464 pages. The storytelling is captivating, describing how Shostakovich began composing the symphony under relentless bombardment in Leningrad and later finished it in Moscow, its triumphant performance in Leningrad during the siege, and how it rallied worldwide sympathy for Russia's plight. Music is at the heart of the story. As Anderson writes in the prologue, "it is a story about the power of music and its meanings," and he communicates them with seeming effortlessness in this brilliantly written, impeccably researched tour de force. A triumphant story of bravery and defiance that will shock and inspire. Many b&w illustrations. Record # 371551
