Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. A vivid personal account of a Golden Age in classical musicthe second half of the 20th centuryproviding a rare, behind-the-scenes view of the inner workings of a top symphony orchestra.Nancy Shear was only fifteen when she began sneaking into Philadelphia Orchestra concerts through the stage… door, and seventeen when she was hired as a member of the orchestras library staff to help prepare the music; one year later, she became Leopold Stokowskis musical assistant. Being young and female, she was a pioneer in both positions. I Knew a Man Who Knew Brahms takes readers into the homes, studios, and minds of legendary artists with whom Shear shared close personal relationships, including Stokowski, Mstislav Rostropovich, Eugene Ormandy, and members of the Philadelphia Orchestra. Many of these brilliant and talented artists were also outrageous, egocentric, and tyrannical. Throughout this book, Shear topples more than a few revered musicians from their podiums and their pedestals. A literary welcome mat to the beautiful world of classical music, this memoir is accessible and engaging for all. It brings readers into rehearsals and concert halls, revealing the choices musicians must consider, and what conductors, players, and composers really do. A heartwarming story about passion, determination, and survival, I Knew a Man Who Knew Brahms explores music at its core. No reader will ever listen to music the same way again.
