Napoleonich. The Swedish grandfather of Russian chanson.
14.99 €
This is the story of a Swedish citizen who 140 years ago went to Russia with the intention of building a career and becoming famous; the story of a foreigner who fell in love with Russia so much that he became more Russian than many “Ivans who don’t remember their kinship”; the story of a man who, in the process of his creative tossing and turning, recorded and preserved for us the most valuable examples of the song culture of Russian prisons and penal servitude, simultaneously becoming the founder of a new musical genre, now defined as “Russian chanson”.
Composer, virtuoso pianist, ethnographer, writer, inquisitive researcher, calculating adventurer - this is all about him. About Wilhelm Harteveld. About a Swede with a Russian soul. Or, if you prefer, about a Russian with Swedish roots. The book comes with an S with old convict songs from the early 20th century and modern remakes.
