Non-Fiction Biography
Arturo Toscanini: The NBC Years details Toscanini's
magnificent and heroic 17 years (1937-1954) conducting the
NBC Symphony Orchestra. The archival broadcast recordings
documented and reassessed in this lively account comprise
the most complete recorded legacy of Toscanini's orchestral
conducting career. The broadcast recordings include his
readings of many scores for which he left no approved
recording, and his NBC career included performances of works
he never conducted before coming to the network. The
concerts and the broadcasts were immensely popular, and for
generations Toscanini's name became synonymous with
conducting. His legendary art and fiery personality also
engendered controversy that has yet to subside, but this
account takes on the challengers, accepting neither hero
worship nor criticism that ignores the evidence.
