The life and legacy of a musical mastermind
This much anticipated book is the first solid appraisal of
the legendary career of Fritz Reiner (1888-1963), the eminent Hungarian-
born conductor. Personally enigmatic and often described as difficult to
work with, he was nevertheless renowned for the dynamic galvanization of
the orchestras he led, a nearly unrivaled technical ability, and high
professional standards.
Kenneth Morgan has consulted printed and archival resources and
undertaken new interviews with Reiner's associates, critics, and family.
Fritz Reiner, Maestro and Martinet also offers the first close and
systematic look at Reiner's recordings, interpretations, and musicality,
vividly characterizing Reiner's distinctive qualities as a conductor. A
Reiner on CD discography lists recordings by orchestras or other groups
that Reiner conducted.
"Morgan has researched his subject exhaustively, rarely leaves one wanting more detail . . .and enjoys, in copious afternotes, correcting faults in his predecessor Philip Hart's 1994 book. . . . as a compendium of facts on Reiner, it is indispensable."--GRAMOPHONE April 2006
"A lively, polished, and succinct writer and scholar of the first rank, Kenneth Morgan has filled a critical gap left by Reiner's previous
biographer, focusing as he does on Fritz Reiner's musicianship. Through impeccable research and revealing interviews, Morgan offers
unprecedented insights into those distinctive characteristics that made Reiner one of the greatest conductors of all time. Especially welcome is
his detailed discussion of the famous legacy of recordings that keeps Reiner's memory alive, even to those too young to have heard him in
concert." Steven Hillyer, editor of Podium
