Includes the following: Chronology / Early Memories / Mahler and the Start of a Career / Strauss, Pfitzner and the German Provinces / Stravinsky, Hindemith and the Kroll Opera / Schoenberg and the Years of Emigration / Conductors and Conducting / The Conductor as Composer etc. "The first paperback edition of a books which first appeared in 1973 is published to commemorate the centenary of the birth of Otto Klemperer, one of the outstanding conductors of modern times. In a series of conversations with Peter Heyworth, music critic of the Oberserver, Klemperer reviews his life and times. The result is an enthralling autobiography, rich in reminiscence of Mahler, Strauss, Stravinsky, Schoenberg, and in critical comment on cultural heroes about whom he was rather less enthusiastic. Klemperer discusses his years as a rising young conductor in the German provinces; his Berlin period, when he was director of the daringly innovative Kroll Opera in the years before the Nazis seized power; his exile in America, and his final great period in London with the Philharmonia Orchestra. For this new edition Mr Heyworth, the first volume of wholse biography of Klemperer was published to great acclaim in 1983, has revised the text and extended the notes." (Publisher) "A rich cache of outspoken opinion and fascinating reminiscence." (Times Literary Supplement).
