Unlocking the Masters

"In this book, pianist and critic John Bell Young explores each of the nine symphonies, always looking beneath the surface for what makes the music so compelling. He places them in their historical and cultural context, and he describes how the Russian concept of intonatsiia, a way of perceiving relationships "between the notes," can help deepen our appreciation of these pieces. The accompanying CD contains selections from all of the symphonies, each performance conducted by Wilhelm Furtwangler."--BOOK JACKET.Young, John Bell is the author of 'Unlocking the Masters' with ISBN 9781574671698 and ISBN 1574671693.
