Description
This superb biography offers the first life-and-works study of Modest Musorgsky in English for over half a century. David Brown's detailed portrait reveals a complex composer who could apply himself with superhuman intensity when inspiration struck, but also struggled with personal demons.
From his impressive debut opera, Boris Godunov, to the beloved piano suite Pictures at an Exhibition, Musorgsky produced some of the most innovative music of the 19th century. Brown sheds light on his remarkable song compositions and explores the emotional depth behind them.
This biography is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the life and works of this towering composer of Russian music.
