Reinventing Film Music
JOHN CAPS
A fine biography of one of the twentieth centurys greatest classical conductors. This thorough biography of one of the most important figures on the American classical scene in the post-World War II era is a valuable contribution to the literature on classical music.Library Journal Charry not only gives us invaluable insights into his leadership style and musical tastes ... but details some of the financial and political issues facing the orchestra during that era. . . . Perhaps the books greatest value lies in humanizing a man whom many have come to see as a humorless (or perhaps joyless) martinet.SymphonyNow Charry examines Szells personal life in greater detail than has been afforded before, with a trove of previously unpublished letters. . . . Straightforward and erudite. The Wall Street Journal Musicians, concertgoers, and general readers will be captivated by the authors behind-the-scenes look at what goes into shaping a world-class orchestra.The Washington Times An excellent job of chronicling the everyday life of professional musicians.HuffingtonPost.com Given the conductors close identification with a symphonic orchestra, the extent of Szells operatic experience may come as a surprise to some readers. Charry has done excellent work in illuminating this overshadowed facet of Szells career.Opera News

This biography of legendary banjoist J. D. Crowe charts the life and career of one of bluegrasss most important innovators.

Crowe is the definitive music biography of a true bluegrass original.
