In this wide-ranging inside view of the history and practice
of conducting, analysis and advice comes directly from working
conductors, including Sir Charles Mackerras on opera, Bramwell
Tovey on being an Artistic Director, Martyn Brabbins on modern
music, Leon Botstein on programming and Vance George on choral
conducting, and from those who work closely with conductors: a
leading violinist describes working as a soloist with Stokowski,
Ormandy and Barbirolli, while Solti and Abbado's studio producer
explains orchestral recording, and one of the world's most powerful
managers tells all. The book includes advice on how to conduct
different types of groups (choral, opera, symphony, early music)
and provides a substantial history of conducting as a study of
national traditions. It is an unusually honest book about a
secretive industry and managers, artistic directors, soloists,
players and conductors openly discuss their different perspectives
for the first time.
