Lost in the Stars. The Forgotten Musical Life of Alexander Siloti by Charles Barber.

xix, 429 pp, 1 leaf; illustrations. Hardcover (is it cloth or another material?). XLIB: labels on spine, institutional bookplate on front pastedown, loan slip and barcode on front flyleaf, ink stamp on bottom fore edge of pages. IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT MISSING CD: the compact disc "Alexander Siloti Bach Transcriptions James Barbagallo" that was included in a pouch on the front pastedown is NOT present in this copy. Aside from the library markings, and the ABSENT CD, the book is in Very Good condition. But, given the absent CD, some might grade this copy lower, and I would not disagree with that assessment. First Edition. On p. 392 Barber writes about the CD, which, I repeat, is NOT present in this copy. This was the only release of the CD, as the plan to release it as a Naxos CD did not come to fruition. As of July 2026, there are three other copies for sale online: $200 on eBay (photos show it is a better copy and it does have the CD), $316 on Amazon UK, and $2999.99 on Amazon. You can wait for another copy to appear (I am sure others will appear), or take your pick among these 4 choices.…
