Description
Silent Movements brings all Simon Mundy's experience in politics and the music business together. Set in 1980 at the end of the Cold War, it tells the story of a Soviet violinist being helped by a young British cellist to defect.
Along the way Mundy accurately depicts the challenges and excitement of concert performance. As Julian Lloyd Webber says, 'Simon Mundy really knows the point where music, politics and history collide. He also understands the processes of a performer's life.'
