Description:
With his moving worldwide hit Leningrad, pop icon Billy Joel built a poignant musical bridge between East and West. He found the inspiration for this masterpiece during a legendary six-part concert series in 1987, when he toured the Soviet Union as the first major American rock artist. The song tells the touching story of the Russian clown Viktor Razinov, masterfully capturing the enduring hope for peace and humanity during the Cold War.
