That is to say, the CSO since the belated departure of Solti. Foreword by the New Yorker Magazine critic Alex Ross. Introduction And Commentary by the musicologist Douglas W. Shadle. "From 1994 to 2015, through the best work of Daniel Barenboim, Pierre Boulez, Bernard Haitink, and Riccardo Muti, Andrew Patner was right there. As a classical music critic for the Chicago Sun-Times and WFMT Radio, Patner was able to trace the arc of the CSO's changing repertories, all while cultivating a deep rapport with its four principal conductors. Assembles Patner's reviews of the concerts given by the CSO during this time as well as transcripts of his remarkable radio interviews with these colossal figures. Tidbits for the curious, such as Patner's 'driving survey' that playfully ranks the Maestri on a scale of 'total comfort' to 'fright level five', and the observation that Muti appears to be a southpaw on the baseball field. Moving easily between registers, they also open revealing windows onto the sometimes difficult pasts that brought these conductors to music in the first place, including Boulez's and Haitink's heartbreaking experiences of Nazi Occupation in their native countries as children. Threaded together with insights about the power of music and the techniques behind it: From the conductors' varied approaches to research, preparing scores, and interacting with other musicians, to how the sound and personality of the orchestra evolved over time, to the ways that we can all learn to listen better and hear more in the music we love. A rich portrait of the life of Chicago through the eyes and ears of one of its most beloved critics" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for Andrew Patner and CSO collectors.
