A reflection and reminiscence of a life devoted to music. One of the great conductors of the twentieth century, whom I had the pleasure of experiencing in person during his tenure as conductor of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
The autobiography of conductor Sir Georg Solti, published to coincide with his 85th birthday, charting his life in Hungary, Switzerland, Germany, England and America; and his collaboration with the great singers and musicians of our time including his work with Bartok, Kodaly and Richard Strauss and his training of Furtwangler and Toscanini.
