Conducting business : unveiling the mystery behind the maestro
Conducting an orchestra is something that is seen as well as heard, but it is quite misunderstood. People may wonder, \"What does this person actually do for a living?\" This most mysterious of jobs is brought to life in this book. Drawing on his own experiences on and off the podium, Leonard Slatkin tells tales of some of the most fascinating people in the musical world, including Frank Sinatra, Leonard Bernstein, and John Williams. He takes the reader to soundstages in Hollywood as well as great concert halls and opera pits around the globe. Slatkin recounts his controversial appearance at the Metropolitan Opera, his creation and direction of summer music festivals, and a shattering concert experience that took place four days after 9/11. Discussions of work in the recording studio and life on the road as well as health issues confronting the conductor provide an insider's glimpse into this private world.--From publisher description.

NEW YORK FORUM ABOUT THE MAESTRO Mr. Bernstein's Grand Bequest
During the '50s, we began to see clear political motivation in his music - and his life. Later, his controversial association with the Black Panthers and his increasing camaraderie with those involved in leftist causes made Mr. [Bernstein] a target of critics with more conservative views of how artists should behave. In effect, they told him, \"Let your music be heard but do not let us see you.\" As music director of the New York Philharmonic, Maestro Bernstein not only shared his talent and energies with the entire country, he also helped restore the international stature the New York orchestra had enjoyed under the direction of Arturo Toscanini. Mr. Bernstein's championing of American music became a signal for the composers of his time to increase their output. At the same time, he introduced many Americans to the works of Gustav Mahler, Charles Ives and other overlooked composers.
