From world premieres with Leonard Bernstein to a once-in-a-lifetime
collaboration with Frank Sinatra at Madison Square Garden,
"Splendid Encounters" offers a glimpse into two of the century's
most exciting decades of classical music. Renowned choral conductor
Abraham Kaplan provides a fascinating look at his association with
more than forty talented musicians who touched his life with their
genius and accomplishments.
In some instances, Kaplan crossed paths with these musicians
momentarily, and in other cases, he had the privilege of working
intimately with some of the world's great maestros. In all, Kaplan
collaborated with twenty-eight world-renowned conductors, nine
internationally famous composers, and other celebrated
personalities-from William Schuman to Igor Stravinsky and Vincent
Persichetti-whose vignettes are delivered in this compilation.
"Splendid Encounters," stories of great musicians told by a
great musician and storyteller, is both infectious and
inspirational, and demonstrates that these legendary musicians are
indeed real human beings. This music biography revives the living,
breathing experiences of a generation of musical legends who should
not be forgotten.
