Excel on Pre WW 2 Conductors!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This fine book details the lives,stories, and music of many of the great conductors prior to the 2nd World War. Most interesting are the sections on Stokowski and the Phila Orchestra, followed by his work on Disney's FANTASIA, and Toscanini, a great maestro without a touch of arrogance, and a staunch anti-Fascist. Since this work was originally printed in the early 1940's, the conductors' views and experiences with Nazis and Fascists are of great interest as well!
Excellent!

If you want to become familiar with some of the foremost conductors to ever live, then this is your book! Full of anecdotes and important biographical information. I finished this book in 2 sittings. It is an easy read and filled with humor and facts. I strongly reccommend this book to anyone interested in the field of conducting!
