Hardback. Condición: Good. "Playing in an orchestra in an intelligent way is the best school for democracy."--Daniel Barenboim The Chicago Symphony Orchestra has been led by a storied group of conductors. And from 1994 to 2015, through the best work of Daniel Barenboim, Pierre Boulez, Bernard Haitink, and Ricardo Muti, Andrew Patner was right there. As music critic for the Chicago Sun-Times and WFMT radio, Patner was able to trace the arc of the CSO's changing repertories, all while cultivating a deep rapport with its four principal conductors. This book assembles Patner's reviews of the concerts given by the CSO during this time, as well as transcripts of his remarkable radio interviews with these colossal figures. These pages hold tidbits for the curious, such as Patner's "driving survey" that playfully ranks the Maestri he knew on a scale of "total comfort" to "fright level five," and the observation that Muti appears to be a southpaw on the baseball field. Moving easily between registers, they also open revealing windows onto the sometimes difficult pasts that brought these conductors to music in the first place, including Boulez's and Haitink's heartbreaking experiences of Nazi occupation in their native countries as children. Throughout, these reviews and interviews are threaded together with insights about the power of music and the techniques behind it--from the conductors' varied approaches to research, preparing scores, and interacting with other musicians, to how the sound and personality of the orchestra evolved over time, to the ways that we can all learn to listen better and hear more in the music we love. Featuring a foreword by fellow critic Alex Ross on the ethos and humor that informed Patner's writing, as well as an introduction and extensive historical commentary by musicologist Douglas W. Shadle, this book offers a rich portrait of the musical life of Chicago through the eyes and ears of one of its most beloved critics.…

Very Good in Wrappers. 0385413823. 175 pages. paperback. Cover photograph by Nigel Dickson. keywords: Biography Journalism Politics America. DESCRIPTION - Why is so little written about I. F. Stone, who for 60 years has been America's most celebrated radical journalist, and whose Weekly was for many years required reading, even for those in Washington whom it regularly pilloried? That is one of the cogent questions asked, but only partly answered, by journalist Patner, who has put together an all-too-slim but entirely engaging portrait of his feisty subject. Stone was elusive, to say the least, and was only finally persuaded to tolerate a series of fleeting interviews on the run by the combined efforts of his wife Esther and Studs Terkel. What he wanted to talk about his long passionate interest in ancient Greece and its philosophers and what Patner wanted to pursue Stone's journalistic career and political views mean that we get a great deal more of the former than of the latter. But somehow Patner skillfully weaves the disjunctive material together into a portrait of a formidably self-taught man of clear principle, rich enthusiasms and frequent humor, whose impact on American political life has never been adequately assessed. The book is no substitute for a full-length biography, but neither is it trivial or superficial; it merely whets one's appetite for more on Stone. - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY. inventory #33325. …
