WHILE THE MUSIC PLAYED A Remarkable Story of Courage and Friendship in WWII

Narrator Bronson Pinchot's range of accents is put to the test in this work of historical fiction set during WWII. While most of Pinchot's narration takes the perspective of a boy living in Prague, the point of view changes and moves all over Europe. At no point will listeners question who is speaking to whom or where that person is from. Pinchot captures the oratorical tones of Churchill; the meek, passive voice of a 12-year-old Austrian girl; the cold calculation of Nazi leaders; and the heart and soul of the music-loving boy who holds the story together. Listeners will be entranced by this story of love and friendship during a time of war. It is magnificent. A.R.F.
