Description

London England: Simon & Schuster. Near Fine/Very Good. 1991. First Edition. Half-Leather. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall 0671710184 Paperback rst Edition Hardcoverr. Where have all the great conductors gone? In this provocative and penetrating history of their profession, the author argues that the lust for power and wealth has brought the maestro breed to the brink of extinction. Illustrated with drawings, prints and photographs, many of them rare and unpublished, this bok is a refreshingly vigorous, iconoclastic investigation of a profession which has too often been the object of sycophantic reverence. No music lover who enjoys having his opions and prejudices challenged will want to be without it. Illustrated. 393 pp. Paperback. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.) .
