A radical new book by journalist, critic and BBC Radio 3
broadcaster Kate Molleson, which fundamentally changes the way we
think about classical music and the musicians who made it on a
global scale. 'Wonderful . . . This is a book of discovery that
speaks of music as a life force, that urges us to live our lives
through music. ' COSEY FANNI TUTTI 'A marvellous book that opens
our ears to sonic worlds that will enrich and delight us, whoever
and wherever we are.' IAN McMILLAN 'A clear-eyed, utterly
fascinating exploration of outsiders in classical music. Molleson's
excellent book challenges and enlightens.' SINÉAD GLEESON This is
the impassioned and exhilarating story of the composers who dared
to challenge the conventional world of classical music in the
twentieth century. Traversing the globe from Ethiopia and the
Philippines to Mexico, Jerusalem, Russia and beyond, journalist,
critic and BBC Radio 3 broadcaster Kate Molleson tells the stories
of ten figures who altered the course of musical history, only to
be sidelined and denied recognition during an era that systemically
favoured certain sounds - and people - over others. A celebration
of radical creativity rooted in ideas of protest, gender, race,
ecology and resistance, Sound Within Sound is an energetic
reappraisal of twentieth-century classical music that opens up the
world far beyond its established centres, challenges stereotypical
portrayals of the genre and shatters its traditional canon. 'Sound
Within Sound is absolutely inspiring. Everyone who loves music
should own this book.' CHARLOTTE HIGGINS 'Introduces us to
thrilling dreamers from the last century who believed that music
could fundamentally - and disruptively - recalibrate our lives . .
. Molleson's enthusiastic style and eye for character and place
give them life.' JUDE ROGERS, OBSERVER 'The vividness and passion
of Molleson's portraits of these ten extraordinarily gifted,
exasperating, headstrong individuals is wonderfully engaging.'
