The book combines material written by Legge with that by others, including his wife. The eulogy of Legge's friendship with von Karajan is surprising. I recall from ? an independent history of The Philharmonia Orchestra (founded by Legge) that he was treated with contempt by Karajan when he made an appointment to see him in Berlin to try to arrange for the maestro to conduct the Philharmonia in London many years after his time with them in his early years.
