Driven by a mission to recover the music of composers who were forced into exile during the twentieth century, Music Reborn chronicles their lives and examines their extraordinary legacy.

This work discusses the antisemitism that accompanied Nazism and Stalinism, its impact on music, and the enduring reverberations of exile. At the heart of the narrative are accounts of how a cohort of early twentieth-century composers - all graduates of Europe's most exacting musical institutions - was forced to flee their homelands. A musician, as well as a musical detective, Simon Wynberg explores composers' professional options, their responses to alien social, cultural, and physical environments - ranging from depression and alienation to enthusiasm and loyalty - as well as the ways in which exile impacted the nature and style of their work.
