A radical new book by journalist, critic, and BBC Radio 3 broadcaster Kate Molleson, Sound Within Sound, 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.
Sound Within Sound is a celebration of radical creativity rooted in ideas of protest, gender, race, ecology, and resistance. This energetic reappraisal of twentieth-century classical music 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."
