"The Inextinguishable Symphony: A True Story of Music and
Love in Nazi Germany"
by Martin Goldsmith
On Sale
Martin Goldsmith--the mellifluously knowledgeable former
host of NPR's "Performance Today" program of classical music
news--has written a Holocaust era memoir like no other. "The
Inextinguishable Symphony" tells the story of his musician
parents, who met in Berlin's Jewish Culture Association
during the period of racial apartheid in the early days of
the Nazi regime. Goldsmith treats such issues as the
politics of art, survivor guilt, and the meaning music can
infuse into our lives. A brilliant and moving memoir.
"Longing"
by J.D. Landis
On Sale
The romantic composers have always been particular magnets
for fictional treatment--a trend that probably reached its
laughably cliched nadir in Hollywood films. But novelist
J.D. Landis attempts to get inside the psychology of one of
the most sensitive figures in music history, who lived in
very interesting times. The results are often surprising and
deeply engaging.
"A French Song Companion"
by Graham Johnson and Richard Stokes
On Sale
This companion is a sturdy, must-have reference that should

features elegant, sensitive translations of the French
poetic sources, as well as expert commentary by one of the
best song pianists in the business, Graham Johnson.
"Beethoven's Hair: An Extraordinary Historical Odyssey and a
Musical Mystery Solved"
by Russell Martin
On Sale
A lock of hair is snipped from the body of the recently
deceased Beethoven by one of his disciples. But where did it
disappear to? Author Russell Martin follows the fascinating
journey that the lock traveled through time between a
musician, a doctor in Denmark, and--more recently--two
U.S. Beethovenphiles who had the hair's DNA tested for
answers to some unsolved questions about the master.

enormous recorded legacy offers one way to tap into his

EARLY MUSIC STORE: BACK BEFORE BACH
There's a huge, tremendously varied, and exciting world of classical music from before the time of Bach and Handel. It ranges from the soaring chant of the mystic Hildegard von Bingen and other sacred choral works to the secular, courtly love songs of the troubadours and trouveres. For one, try out the touching, melancholy poetry of Elizabethan songs, sung by Daniel Taylor to lute accompaniment on "Lie Down, Poor Heart."
