This is a remarkable study of the relationships between music, culture, history and memory. It reshaped the way I think about these topics, and put the events of the 20th century in a different perspective than I had considered. It is beautifully written and deeply researched.
It is a brilliant tour through twentieth century concert music that illuminates the history of the century, the agonies of the Holocaust, and the ineffable influence of music in shaping our relationship to both the past and the future.
