From composers to musicians, the Russian school is universally admired. Russian musicians have left an indelible mark on Twentieth Century music, and these are essays on the greatest of those artists: * Anton Rubinstein * Roalia Pasternak * Wanda Landowska * Samuel Samosud * The Neuhaus Family * Maria Yudina * Nathan Milstein * David Oistrakh * Emil Gilels * Sviatoslav Richter. Each chapter contains important biographical, historical, and bibliographical materials and discographical notations, much derived from Russian sources, which have never before been translated into English.
