Résumé :
|
Horowitz et mon père (Horowitz and My Father) is the touching and often humorous story of Dimitri Radzanov, a classmate and rival of Vladimir Horowitz at the Kiev Conservatory, who is forced to flee to France with his mother on the eve of the Bolshevik Revolution. Dimitri’s mother, convinced her son is more talented than Horowitz and frustrated by the latter’s meteoric rise to international stardom, hounds Dimitri to resume the piano. Dimitri, however, has other ideas. He meets an actress who becomes the love of his life, marries and has a son, and is content to work in a record factory. The Occupation has a devastating effect on the Radzanov family, but Dimitri finally succumbs to his mother’s entreaties, takes up the piano again, and fills the house with music. Narrated by Dimitri’s son, this poignant story, populated by richly drawn characters, has an ending that will surprise and move you.
