Overview
An exuberant, uniquely accessible, beautifully illustrated look inside the enigmatic art and craft of conducting, from a celebrated conductor whose international career has spanned half a century. John Mauceri brings a lifetime of experience to bear in an unprecedented, hugely informative, consistently entertaining exploration of his profession, rich with anecdotes from decades of working alongside the greatest names of the music world. With candor and humor, Mauceri makes clear that conducting is itself a composition: of legacy and tradition, techniques handed down from master to apprentice--and more than a trace of ineffable magic. He reveals how conductors approach a piece of music (a calculated combination of personal interpretation, imagination, and insight into the composer's intent); what it takes to communicate solely through gesture, with sometimes hundreds of performers at once; and the occasionally glamorous, often challenging life of the itinerant maestro. Mauceri, who worked closely with Leonard Bernstein for eighteen years, studied with Leopold Stokowski, and was on the faculty of Yale University for fifteen years, is the perfect guide to the allure and theater, passion and drudgery, rivalries and relationships of the conducting life.

About the Author
Джон Мосери, маэстро с мировой известностью, педагог и писатель, работал с лучшими оперными театрами и симфоническими оркестрами, а также дирижировал на Бродвее и в Голливуде. Он был direttore stabile (постоянным дирижером) Королевского театра в Турине и музыкальным руководителем Шотландской оперы, Вашингтонской оперы (в Кеннеди-центре), Питтсбургской оперы и Американского симфонического оркестра (в Карнеги-холле). Восемнадцать лет он работал в тесном сотрудничестве с Леонардом Бернстайном и по его просьбе дирижировал на многих премьерах композитора. Мосери — директор-основатель оркестра "Голливудской чаши", который был создан для него в 1991 году Лос-Анджелесской филармонической ассоциацией. В течение семи лет (с 2006-го по 2013-й) Мосери занимал пост ректора Школы искусств в Университете Северной Каролины — первой государственной консерватории в США. Активно выступая за сохранение двух форм сугубо американского искусства: бродвейского мюзикла и музыки к голливудским кинофильмам, он много раз восстанавливал работы в этих жанрах, готовил их к премьерам и дирижировал ими. Мосери читал лекции в Гарвардском и Йельском университетах, в Смитсоновском институте, Национальном фонде поддержки искусств, Академии кинематографических искусств и наук, Американском музыковедческом обществе и др. Его статьи публиковались в периодических изданиях Gramophone, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times и The Huffington Post. Джон Мосери выпустил около восьмидесяти дисков и стал лауреатом премий "Grammy", "Tony", "Olivier", "Drama Desk" и "Billboard", а также двух "Emmy", двух "Diapasons d'Or" и четырех "Deutsche Schallplatten". Недавно ему присвоили Премию Дитсона для дирижеров за пятьдесят лет выступлений, редакторской работы и служения американской музыке. В настоящее время автор живет в Нью-Йорке.
