Arturo Toscanini: Contemporary Recollections of the Maestro (A Da Capo paperback)

Rating:
Summary: Great read about great conductor
Review: This is a great read! It consists of two books. The first is Haggin's own recollections of conversations with Toscanini and of rehearsals and performances during most of Toscanini's career. It is insightful. The second is Haggin's interviews with many musicians who played under Toscanini. It is quite moving and instructive. Together, they constitute a readable and enjoyable book about a very great conductor and ultimately a very humble man.
