Music and Soviet Power 1917-1932 Book Launch

The Revolution! The Civil War! The New State! The world looked on at what might have become a new utopia. That it didn’t happen we now know but the 1920s were an exciting period of invention in all walks of Russian life. Music was no exception, as revealed in this new book Music and Soviet Power 1917-1932 by Marina Frolova-Walker and Jonathan Walker. The authors present their work amidst live performance of some true rarities such as Mosolov’s Four Advertisements for voice and piano and some very rarely heard piano pieces.
