5.0 out of 5 stars A splendid portrait., 13 Dec 2006
By Robert Manari (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
When Constantin Silvestri died on February 23rd, 1969, being 3 months short of his 56th birthday, it was widely accepted that the world has lost a great musician. Not only a phenomenal conductor, but before that a gifted and rather successful pianist in his native Romania and a very accomplished composer whose works are still waiting to be discovered and rightfully appreciated. However, Silvestri will probably be mostly remembered as a fantastic conductor, who from the young age of 32 led orchestras from Bucharest and Bournemouth (amongst other) to vast international recognition and acclaim. Silvestri's reputation was built on extremely polished and well crafted performances and recordings, way ahead of their time, and always recognized to be "outside of the box". Had he lived longer, undeniably, his reputation would have equaled Karajan's. His many splendid recordings (amongst them, gems such as Tchaikovsky's Manfred Symphony, Liszt's Tasso, Elgar's In the South, or Dvorak's Ninth Symphony), will always remind new generations that Silvestri was one of the very few conductors with the rare gift of building large orchestras capable of incredibly refined sounds, a quality of play more associated with chamber orchestras. Even in Britain's 60s making an orchestra sound and play like a soloist was a revolutionary style which Silvestri helped in pioneering. He was also part of a very small elite of conductors capable of turning even a mediocre piece of music into something rather beautiful.... Overall, a wonderful book on this complex and fascinating personality of the 20th Century music world, book which will prove a valuable addition to any library.
