About This Item

First American Edition. Ex-library book has usual library markings, writing, stamps, stickers, card holder. DJ protected in mylar has very little bumping, rubbing on the top, spine, edges, corners. Outer edges has some tanning, browning, stains and foxing. The author provides frank interviews and insight (the first authorized in English) the notoriously press-shy, revered and hated 77-year-old Austrian conductor, a giant of the vanishing autocratic school, which bred the unique aura of musical dictatorship and awed respect for genius that surrounds the great maestros. This book is a rather a privileged glimpse into the Karajan world, a fascinating "insiders" portrait; accomplished only with the cooperation of Karajan and his intimates, as well as the author's objective humor and critical insight, the result is a tasty, detailed, view of an unapproachable musical icon. A copy that has been read, but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact, and the cover is intact. The spine may show signs of wear. Pages can include limited notes and highlighting, and the copy can include previous owner inscriptions. 1986. A5.
