The Lost Pianos of Siberia
Roberts, Sophy
A Sunday Times ’MUST READ’’Stunningly written... This is a wonderful
book.’ SUNDAY TIMES’An extraordinary, cadenced journey into music, exile
and landscape.’ EDMUND DE WAAL_______________Siberia’s story is
traditionally one of exiles, penal colonies and unmarked graves. Yet
there is another tale to tell.
Dotted throughout this remote
land are pianos - grand instruments created during the boom years of the
nineteenth century, and humble, Soviet-made uprights that found their
way into equally modest homes. They tell the story of how, ever since
entering Russian culture under the influence of Catherine the Great,
piano music has run through the country like blood. How these pianos
travelled into this snow-bound wilderness in the first place is
testament to noble acts of fortitude by governors, adventurers and
exiles.
That stately instruments might still exist in such a
hostile landscape is remarkable. That they are still capable of making
music in far-flung villages is nothing less than a miracle. But this
is Siberia, where people can endure the worst of the world - and where
music reveals a deep humanity in the last place on earth you would
expect to find it.
’A sparkling debut by an
outstanding and gifted author. A brilliant guide to Russia of the past
and the present, set around an extraordinary search for the heart, soul
and lost keyboards of centuries gone by.’ PETER FRANKOPAN’A
masterpiece of modern travel literature with words that sing from its
pages. A definitive exploration of Russia’s wild east.’ LEVISON WOOD
