As New. octavo. hardback with dust jacket 380pp., b/w plates, text ills., notes, appendix, bibliog., index, ÔDrawing on secret documents and wide ranging conversations with leading maestro's; Lebrecht has written a book that is not only about conductors, but also about the conduct of western politics and society. For the conductor is in many respects a nebulous creature who responds chameleon-like to a totalitarian era and ascetic in a time of austerity. Today's maestro argues Lebrecht has become a corporate raider, and now faces moral and professional bankruptcy. Illustrated with drawings, prints and photographs, many of them rare and unpublishedÕ
