Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Over the past century, the Philadelphia Orchestra has earned its reputation as one of the finest orchestras in the world. "Philadelphia Maestros" tells the tale of this marvelous orchestra through the tenures of three conductors: Eugene Ormandy, Riccardo Muti, and Wolfgang Sawallisch. With their singular approaches to sound and public image, all three maestros left an indelible mark on the Orchestra, and the cultural life of the city of Philadelphia. A lifelong fan and scholar of the Philadelphia Orchestra, Phyllis White Rodr guezPeralta paints intimate portraits of the conductors using archival material and interviews with musicians, including pianists Gary Graffman and Lang Lang, and violinist Sarah Chang. Rodr guezPeralta's text captivates as she recounts Eugene Ormandy's performance as a lastminute substitute for guest conductor Arturo Toscanini; Riccardo Muti's magnetic presence and international fame; and the role of Wolfgang Sawallisch in moving the Orchestra to its grand new hall at the Kimmel Center. Engaging and entertaining, "Philadelphia Maestros" will be a welcome addition to any aficionado's bookshelf."
