How are conductors' silent gestures magicked into sound by a group
of more than a hundred brilliant but belligerent musicians? The
mute choreography of great conductors has fascinated and frustrated
musicians and music-lovers for centuries. Orchestras can be
inspired to the heights of musical and expressive possibility by
their maestros, or flabbergasted that someone who doesn't even make
a sound should be elevated to demigod-like status by the public.
This is the first book to go inside the rehearsal rooms of some of
the most inspirational orchestral partnerships in the world - how
Simon Rattle works at the Berlin Philharmonic, how Mariss Jansons
deals with the Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam, and how
Claudio Abbado creates the world's most luxurious pick-up band
every year with the Lucerne Festival Orchestra. From London to
Budapest, Bamberg to Vienna, great orchestral concerts are
recreated as a collection of countless human and musical stories.
