520 From the acclaimed author of A Natural History of the
Piano, the captivating story of the 1958 international
piano competition in Moscow, where, at the height of Cold
War tensions, an American musician showed the potential of
art to change the world. April of 1958--the Iron Curtain
was at its heaviest, and the outcome of the Tchaikovsky
International Piano Competition seemed preordained.
Nonetheless, as star musicians from across the globe
descended on Moscow, an unlikely favorite emerged: Van
Cliburn, a polite, lanky Texan whose passionate virtuosity
captured the Russian spirit. This is the story of what
unfolded that spring--for Cliburn and the other
competitors, jurors, party officials, and citizens of the
world who were touched by the outcome. It is a behind-the-
scenes look at one of the most remarkable events in
musical history, filled with political intrigue and
personal struggle as artists strove for self-expression
and governments jockeyed for prestige. And, at the core of
it all: the value of artistic achievement, the supremacy
of the heart, and the transcendent freedom that can be
found, through music, even in the darkest moments of human
history [Publisher description]
