'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.
