Diaries 1915-1923: Behind the Mask by Sergey Prokofiev - 2008

Cornell University Press, 2008. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine Condition/Very Good. Clean, bright pages, a few light markings to closed page block, clean jacket noticeably creased along its upper edge. "Anthony Phillips rises to all the demands made by Prokofiev's lucid but delicately nuanced Russian. His translation is accurate almost without a lapse, his tone is consistently faithful to the original, and from time to time he pulls out something truly brilliant. . . . Dedicated professional that he was, Prokofiev still definitely 'had a life.' The amount of space devoted to his personal relationships and pastimes in the diaries as a whole equals that concerning music, and these subjects are approached with similar relish."—G. S.
