This is a story about a piano and its most prodigious player - how
it, along with him, survived. When her father died, singer
songwriter Roxanne de Bastion inherited a piano she knew had been
in her family for over a hundred years. But it is only when she
finds a cassette recording of her grandfather, Stephen, playing one
of his compositions, the true and almost unbelievable history of
the piano, this man and her family begins to unravel. Stephen was a
man who enjoyed great fame, a man who suffered the horrors of
concentration camps in WWII, a man who ultimately survives - along
with his piano. By piecing together his cassette recordings,
unpublished memoirs, letters and documents, Roxanne sings out her
grandfather's story of music and hope, lost and found, and explores
the power of what can echo down through generations.
