SCHOLARLY HISTORY OF MUSIC IN THE DECADE AFTER THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION,
By Russophile (Berkshire UK) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Music for the Revolution: Musicians and Power in Early Soviet Russia (Hardcover)
This is a very interesting book, despite the subject matter which superficially would appeal to only a small specialist audience. I found the book well set out and well refferenced, It was immensly readable and threw light on many aspects of early Soviet Music and culture. It explains without bias why RAPM had failed to succeed in dominating the music scene and how the traditionalists succeeded at least initially by sheer dint of their professionalism.
This is an essential book for those interested in that era of Soviet Music. Not being a musicological work there is little mention of individual compositions which I missed. I would also have liked to know more about Roslavets and Mosolov, two important but unfortunate figures. All in all a highly recommended book. |
