Understanding Toscanini

Name: Understanding Toscanini
Author: Joseph Horowitz

by Joseph Horowitz

Joseph Horowitz on Toscanini helped give a social and historical context to the world of classical music that I encountered when I moved to New York as a child. The book gave me a way to see how deeply everything changed after World War II, how the immigration of European musicians to the United States helped shape the evolution of classical music for a good half-century and gave me my own musical foundation.
