From acclaimed journalist Sophy Roberts, a journey through one of the harshest landscapes on earth-where music reveals the deep humanity and the rich history of Siberia.
A fascinating look at a new facet of Siberia, a region that has long captivated the interest and imagination of people around the world. Roberts expertly uses her quest for a Siberian piano as a framework for the gripping history of the region, and of music in Russia. Music, and pianos specifically, were expressly used by Catherine the Great to westernize Russia, and thus have played an important role in the complex identity of the country straddling two continents.
