- Summary:
- Lost in the Stars accounts for the work and legend of Alexander Siloti (1863-1945), and outlines in fascinating detail his role in the musical life of St. Petersburg, his later career in New York, and why his name has largely dissolved in history. This book is an extraordinary guide to a galaxy of musical genius, and a man central to its orbit.
