More than LSO
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
More than a history of the London Symphony Orchestra, this book gives a great overview of London musical life through the 20th Century into the 21st. Why does London have five orchestras? You'll find out in this detailed history of the institutions, personalities, and politics of the British orchestral scene. Punctuated by insightful quotes from witnesses and participants, we see how some of the history of the LSO may be viewed differently by those who were there, depanding on where they were standing. If you enjoy "The Cleveland Orchestra: Second to None" or "Season With Solti", you will enjoy this story of another musical culture, similar, but so different.
