Özet:
This book is the first full biography of George Szell, one of the greatest orchestra and opera conductors of the twentieth century. From child prodigy pianist and composer to world-renowned conductor, Szell's career spanned seven decades, and he led most of the great orchestras and opera companies of the world. A protege of composer-conductor Richard Strauss at the Berlin State Opera, his crowning achievement was his 24 year tenure as musical director of the Cleveland Orchestra. Under Szell's baton, the orchestra developed into one of the world's greatest ensembles, recording extensively and touring triumphantly over the world._x000B_Michael Charry, a conductor who worked with Szell and interviewed him, constructs a lively and balanced portrait of Szell's life and work, detailing his personal and musical qualities, his recordings and concerts, his approach to the great works of the orchestral repertoire, and his famous orchestrational interpretation of the symphonies of Robert Schumann.
