A journey through the life and work of six great composers: Johann Sebastian Bach, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven, Robert Schumann, Johannes Brahms and Igor Stravinsky. With a humorous tone, Isserlis introduces us to the fascinating world of authors who turned the history of classical music.
Steven Isserlis, born in Britain and of Russian descent, is one of the best cellists of our time. Ductile artist, who favors the historicist versions, but also of the romantic repertoire and of the music of the twentieth century - he is an extraordinary interpreter of composers like Haydn, Schumann and Britten -, is well known by the public of our country who have appreciated the Exquisite clarity of perfect sound. Why Beethoven threw the stew is his first literary work.
