| Abstract | This book tells the story between father and son, both aspiring musicians. While the father fails in the musical world of Tsarist Russia, his son becomes world famous. For Gregor Piatigorsky success meant escaping the grip of his father, fleeing pogroms, the Russian Revolution and the Nazi Holocaust. After falling in love with and marrying the daughter of the Baron de Rothschild, he finally found sanctuary in an abandoned castle in the Adirondack Mountains. There, in 1942, he achieved his dream of becoming an American. |
