The life story told here is interwoven with the political turmoil
and human uprooting of the 20th century. A childhood in
German-occupied Hungary, with its systematic persecution of the
Jews, gives way to youth and young adulthood caught within the
straightjacket of a socialist society. Brought up in a devout,
strictly observant Jewish family, Andor Izsak experiences the call
of music as the constant guiding-light of his life. Faith and music
together lead him to rediscover the great tradition of 19th century
synagogue music, and he makes it his mission to restore this music,
and with it the organ in all its incomparable resonance, to its
former place in Jewish worship. In Hanover, Germany, he finally
comes close to his goal. These memoirs touch us with joy and
suffering. Related consistently from the point of view of their
subject, they are expressed in a captivatingly succinct, frequently
humorous style.
