'Delightful . . . An entertaining and humanising portrait.' LITERARY REVIEW 'Elegant and compelling . . . Absorbing and multi-faceted.' GRAMOPHONE Rachmaninoff left St Petersburg in 1917 in the throes of the Russian Revolution. The story of his years in exile in America and Switzerland has only been told in passing. Reeling from the trauma of a life in upheaval, he wrote almost no music and quickly had to reinvent himself as a f???ted virtuoso pianist, building up untold wealth and meeting the stars - from Walt Disney and Charlie Chaplin to his Russian contemporaries and polar opposites, Prokofiev and Stravinsky.
