Det handler om din, om min historie tilsat en god portion fiktion. Om vores konge Christian d. 4 og hans kælling Kirsten Munk. Om intrigante spil ved hoffet og om passion mellem mennesker.Men Musik og stilhed er også historien om Christian den 4.s orkester, der sidder i kælderen på Rosenborg Slot og spiller musik, som når de kongelige saloner gennem luftkanaler; og en historie om spirende kærlighed mellem én af kongens musikere og én af Kirsten Munks hofdamer.I Musik og stilhed går store historiske begivenheder hånd i hånd med små personlige oplevelser. Alt sammen fortalt af fire stemmer: kongens, kællingens, hofdamens og musikerens.Forfatteren Rose Tremain fik lagt kimen til historien, da hun besøgte Danmark i efteråret 1990. Her fik hun fortalt historien om kongen og hans musikere. Kontrasten mellem de usynlige musikere nede i mørket og den magtfulde mand ovenpå fascinerede hende. Hun modtog den fornemme Whitbread-pris i 2000 for Musik og stilhed.

A piercing story of thwarted love and true friendship from one of our greatest living writersMarianne Clifford, 15, only child of a peppery army colonel and his vain wife, Lal, falls helplessly and absolutely for Simon Hurst, 18, whose cleverness and physical beauty suggest that he will go forward into a successful and monied future, helped on by doting parents. But fate intervenes. Simon's plans are blown off course, and Marianne is forced to bury her dreams of a future together.Narrating her own story, characterising herself as ignorant and unworthy, Marianne's telling use of irony and smart thinking gradually suggest to us that she has underestimated her own worth. We begin to believe that - in the end, supported by her courageous Scottish friend, Petronella - she will find the life she never stops craving. But what we can't envisage is that beneath his blithe exterior, Simon Hurst has been nursing a secret which will alter everything.

Gustav Perle grows up in a small town in Switzerland, where the horrors of the Second World War seem only a distant echo. An only child, he lives alone with Emilie, the mother he adores but who treats him with bitter severity. He begins an intense friendship with a Jewish boy his age, talented and mercurial Anton Zweibel, a budding concert pianist. The novel follows Gustav's family, tracing the roots of his mother's anti-Semitism and its impact on her son and his beloved friend. Moving backward to the war years and the painful repercussions of an act of conscience, and forward through the lives and careers of the two men, one who becomes a hotel owner, the other a concert pianist, The Gustav Sonata explores the passionate love of childhood friendship as it is lost, transformed, and regained over a lifetime. It is a powerful and deeply moving addition to the beloved oeuvre of one of our greatest contemporary novelists.
