BEETHOVEN IN THE BUNKER by Fred Brouwers, Eileen J. Stevens [Trans.], read by Grover Gardner
Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Alan Minskoff discuss a new audiobook narrated by Golden Voice Grover Gardner. He narrates Fred Brouwers’s audiobook with the seriousness it deserves as he chronicles the lives of musicians, conductors, and composers living under the Nazi regime. Students of German history and classical music will be fascinated by the diverse ways Nazi authorities and notable musicians of the times danced around the conflict between Hitler’s love of serious music and his hatred of the Jewish artists whose works he loved. Gardner performs with genuine engagement, a rich lower-register voice, and a dignified sound.
