Tschaikowsky (and Other Russians)
The song "Tschaikowsky (and Other Russians)", a list of 48 Russian and Polish composers which was assembled by Ira Gershwin and set to music by Kurt Weill made Danny Kaye a star overnight. Mark Nadler deconstructs this song by explaining who each of these men were, playing bits of their music and tying their lives to American popular song.This is a madcap, richly layered and ultimately deeply moving study in the nature of fame. | |
