It's Not All Song and Dance: A Life Behind the Scenes in the Performing Arts (Limelight) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Very entertaining - shows a time (1940s - 1980s) when the classical performing arts were much more central in American culture.Lots of stories of Soviet-American cultural exchange during that period including not-so-flattering episodes with the artists.Great for anyone interested in the workings of the performing arts.

Product Description:
Maxim Gershunoff has shared the same life stage as such music legends as Leonard Bernstein, Yo-Yo Ma, Vladimir Horowitz, Dmitri Mitropoulos, Benny Goodman, Isaac Stern, and Igor Stravinsky, and ballet stars such as Rudolf Nureyev, Margot Fonteyn, George Balanchine, and prima ballerina for the Bolshoi Ballet Maya Plisetskaya. Amadeus Press/Limelight Editions is very pleased to bring him center stage with his new memoir, IT'S NOT ALL SONG AND DANCE: A Life Behind the Scenes in the Performing Arts (Cloth, ISBN: 0879103108, 16 Pages of Photographs).
A highly influential mover and shaker, Mr. Gershunoff in IT'S NOT ALL SONG AND DANCE offers an up-close, candid, and often fascinating account of some of the twentieth century's most celebrated performing artists: there are international romance and indiscretions, firsthand recollections of the very real and palpable dangers inherent in the cultural exchange between the United States and the Communist Soviet Union, stories about worldwide discrimination against Jewish performers, back-office wheeling and dealing, and even murder. These stories come from a man who spent his life in service to the celebration and promotion of the performing arts in America and abroad.
