The Student Conductor

Rating:
Summary: Not just for Maestros
Review: The Student Conductor is thoroughly engaging - emotionally and intellectually complex, but the prose is elegantly simple. I loved it as a window into a political culture and the world of classical music, both of which were unfamiliar terrain to me. And a wonderful love story, too. I'd recommend this book to anyone looking to be totally immersed in a vivid landscape from page one onwards.
