"""Indispensable, lucid, detailed, thorough and persuasive--Eight Symphonic Masterworks of the Twentieth Century is not so much a masterclass as an entire curriculum in the art of orchestral conducting. Composers can only pray for the transparency, temporal architecture, and force that Leonard Slatkin brings both to his interpretations on the podium as well as to the principles and techniques he articulates so eloquently here."" ""Leonard Slatkin is an excellent writer with clarity and substance. This book is a treasure for conductors, but anyone with a deep interest in these works will find each chapter fascinating. He not only deals with the specifics of conducting the works but also their history and general performance issues. Every serious conductor should read this and benefit from Slatkin's tremendous experience and knowledge."" ""Reading this book is akin to watching a basketball game with Shaquille O'Neal. Gold-plated insights from a master of the field are delivered with charm and wit. Slatkin's brilliant observations about these works widen one's understanding of the entire canon, making this book is essential reading."""
