Concerto - 9781524663353

Concerto is a human story with a musical context. The first part is based on the historical facts surrounding the contrasting arrivals in New York, over a century ago, of two of the finest performers of their day (Mahler as conductor and Rachmaninov as concert pianist and composer) and a celebrated performance of a Concerto. This is a fictional account of what might have occurred, based upon the known historical facts. A century later, we are introduced to Kenneth Evanson and his marathon journey as an aspiring conductor. His trials and tribulations are intertwined with those of other people and an encounter with the woman who may be destined to become a part of his life. The climax is the centenary performance of the Concerto. What happens? How are the people in his life involved in the aftermath? Who are the two, shadowy figures providing commentary on the unfolding events of this epic tale? Read, discover and enjoy!
