About this product
Product Information
This is the largest life-and-works of Musorgsky ever to have appeared outside Russia. Musorgsky created stunning masterpieces in such creations as his opera Boris Godunov and piano suite Pictures at an Exhibition - yet his life was tragic. It is this pathetic tale, interlaced with critical discussion of music, that is this book's concern.

David Brown has done an excellent job in treating Musorgsky in such a lively and yet learned manner ... His magisterial study deserves to be purchased by many music lovers who will find the narrative fluent and the musical analysis approachable. It should also attract musicians and musical scholars who will also discover some new ideas, approaches and materials in its pages., "A masterfully wrought, well-illustrated and elegantly crafted biography...The book is destined to become a cornerstone of English-language Russian music scholarship and is recommended reading." --Slavic and East European Journal"A no-holds-barred biography....

In a short and undisciplined life, he produced some of the most haunting and memorable music ever written. David Brown's new biography--characteristically vigorous, approachable and opinionated--weaves the great Russian's life and art into a single story, that will be valued by performers, music-lovers and students of musical history."--Gerard McBurney, composer, broadcaster, and lecturer at the RoyalAcademy of Music, London, ... the general reader and specialist alike will value the breadth, clear exposition and enthusiasm in Brown's discussion.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
