About the book: Harvey Sachs?s edition of Arturo Toscanini?s letters, wisely introduced, carefully presented and finely annotated, is one of the most absorbing books of its kind that I have read in years." (Max Loppert, BBC Music Magazine) "[Toscanini?s] alleged virtues -- fanatical dedication, unprecedented standards of accuracy, utter commitment to canonical composers like Beethoven, Wagner, and Verdi, and perfectionist demands on orchestral players -- became vices, depending on which side of the debate one was listening to. The argument was bound up with the myths surrounding his personality: he was seen from afar as the epitome of the egocentric artist -- a description that his letters, now compiled, edited, and translated by Harvey Sachs, both confirm and undermine, since they make him seem more human and appealing. The letters, many of which Sachs didn?t even know existed when in 1978 he was writing what remains the standard Toscanini biography, are immensely enjoyable to read and an exceptional record of a man and an era. Toscanini was not a stylish writer -- he was often the reverse -- but in his correspondence he was passionate, sometimes comically juvenile, often seething with rage, misanthropic, not intellectually sophisticated but widely curious."
