PhiladelphiaOrchestra Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 A fascinating read by Jospeh Horowitz--"Artists in Exile"-- about how European exiles shaped, re-configured, and adapted to American culture. The chapter on Blanachine and Stravinsky is highly illuminating and informative. There are other chapters dealing with music, theatre, and films which should be of interest to or readers. Try and get this one from your bookstore or library. You will find it fascinating!
kfw Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 Thanks, PhiladelphiaOrchestra. Horowitz's website has plugs for this book by a list of notables including Joan Acocella, Arlene Croce, and Alex Ross. The site also lists his schedule of speaking engagements for the book.
bart Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 Thanks, philadelphiaorchestra, for this news. The book is available at a pretty amazing discount on Amazon. Anyone who purchases it by clicking the Amazon box at the top of this page will be assuring that a certain percentage of the sale will go to benefit Ballet Talk.

Here's the link: http://www.josephhorowitz.com/content.asp?elemento_id=63 Sorry I missed his February appearance, right in my neighborhood. Maybe I'll be able to catch one of the two upcoming ones in the area.
