Rudolf Serkin, one of the most cerebral of pianists, was a giant among pianists, although far fewer people would recognize his name than, say, Horowitz or Rubinstein's.The authors, while clearly Serkin fans, give a balanced look at his life and his music.
Rudolf Serkin has been my favorite pianist since I was 18 years old and I would have expected some of the passion of his playing to leak into the writing about his life, although he didn't live life in as intense a way as his playing would suggest.
What most impressed me was the authors' deep understanding of Serkin, his place in the world of music and the world in which he lived.
