Alexander Tcherepnin
Ludmila Korabelnikova recounts the life and times of Alexander Tcherepnin, a prolific and often emulated composer who produced four operas, 13 ballets, four symphonies, numerous orchestral and chamber works, and more than 200 piano pieces. He was born in Russia in 1899 to a family of musicians and artists. However, Aaron Copland referred to him as "an honorary American composer" and Toru Takemitsu called him "a father figure of Japanese music." Korabelnikova focuses not only on the biographical elements of Tcherepnin's story, but also on his music and its technical innovations. She includes extended quotations by the composer himself and selective analytical commentary, based on primary sources and contemporaneous accounts.
Diaghilev
This magnificent new biography of the extraordinary impresario of the arts and creator of the Ballets Russes 100 years ago draws on important new research, notably from Russia. 'Scheijen masterfully recounts the phenomenal way in which Diaghilev contrived, under virtually impossible circumstances, to nurture a sequence of works ... he triumphs in making clear the degree to which, despite the cosmopolitanism of so much of the work, Russia was at the core of Diaghilev' Simon Callow, Guardian 'It's a fabulous, complicated, very sexy story and Sjeng Scheijen takes us through it with a steadying calm that fudges none of the outrage on or off stage' Duncan Fallowell, Daily Express 'Magnificent ... filled with extraordinary glamour' Rupert Christiansen, Daily Mail

An Away Game
Growing up into their early twenties, Ballu, Ajay and Rakesh have just had one dream — to attend the FIFA World Cup final. To reach their goal, each one would have to dribble through parental pressures, financial burdens, career dissatisfaction and agonies of love. Only realising the dream would help them sort their lives, or so they think. Thus they book their ticket to adventure for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. The journey of their lifetime takes the trio through the cities of Rostov, Sochi and Saint Petersburg acting as their muse. They meet a myriad of people and settle age-old debates about the all-time best players, about mountains and beaches and the left and right of society and football. Still looking to lay their hands on the ticket for the final game, they run into their mirror images. And so, they learn who they are; they understand love and longing, and find meaning in mediocracy.
