From Publishers Weekly
Sachs here presents a collection of 11 essays written since the appearance of his biography Toscanini in 1978. Included are commentaries on what others have said about the renowned conductor, critiques of newly released or re-released Toscanini recordings, analyses of the maestro's technique, discussions of his place in the history of conducting, and articles on newly discovered documents that shed light on aspects of his life and career. Toscanini's debut as a conductor, his years in Turin and at La Scala, his relationship with the Wagner family and the conductor Wilhelm Furtwangler at Bayreuth, and his anti-fascism are examined. The opinionated Sachs does not hesitate to deride those who, in his view, misunderstand Toscanini's (1867-1957) genius or distort the facts of his life. This noteworthy addendum to Toscanini provides fresh insights, of interest to scholars and general music lovers alike.

From Library Journal
Sachs presents more than an update to his fine biography of the great Italian conductor ( Toscanini , LJ 11/1/78) with this collection of subsequent, revised essays originally written for periodicals or books. The result is a surprisingly cohesive collection on Toscanini's life, his influence on music and politics, along with his thoughts on conducting and conductors. A scathing review of Joseph Horowitz's Understanding Toscanini (Knopf, 1987) and a defense of the author's own Music in Fascist Italy (Norton, 1988) are convincingly written. Ongoing interest in Toscanini is evidenced in part by the many new laser and CD issues of his performances. Sachs also describes the recently acquired archive of Toscanini recordings and papers at the New York Public Library, from which new materials may well surface. Recommended for music collections.
