Emanuel Feuermann published by Yale University Press.
The meteoric career of the Austrian cellist Emanuel Feuermann ended with his sudden and tragic death in 1942, aged only thirty-nine. A brilliant soloist and chamber performer, many expected him to inherit from Pablo Casals the reputation of the greatest cellist of the time.
This new biography of Feuermann - a rich combination of documentary and oral history and gripping narrative - discusses his life, work and legacy, and gives him the place in musical history that he was denied by his early death.
