Yet there is another tale to tell.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDotted  throughout this remote land are pianos - grand instruments created  during the boom years of the Nineteenth Century, and humble, Soviet-made  uprights that found their way into equally modest homes. They tell the  story of how, ever since entering Russian culture under the influence of  Catherine the Great, piano music has run through the country like  blood. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow these pianos travelled into this snow-bound  wilderness in the first place is testament to noble acts of fortitude by  governors, adventurers and exiles. That stately instruments might still  exist in such a hostile landscape is remarkable. That they are still  capable of making music in far-flung villages is nothing less than a  miracle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut this is Siberia, where people can endure the worst  of the world - and where music reveals a deep humanity in the last place  on earth you would expect to find it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roberts, Sophie","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":44390081429794,"sku":"9780857524959","price":16.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/roberts-sophie-sophie-roberts-lost-pianos-of-siberia-w3-2020-paperback-9780857524959-59690009198931.jpg?v=1729846567","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.pro\/products\/lost-pianos-of-siberia-pb-w3","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
