- Summary:
- They can be tyrants, prima donnas or demanding angels. But whatever their foibles, an orchestra needs a conductor - or does it? André Previn delves into the how and the why in a good-natured investigation that debunks most of the myths. Amusing anecdotes are interwoven with marvellous playing by the London Symphony Orchestra, demonstrating that, despite his modesty, Mr Previn is an essential part of the music making.
