Samenvatting

(Amadeus). Impeccably researched and written with a novelist's narrative mastery, this biography of the great conductor is a modern tragedy. Mitropoulos was a passionate advocate of difficult modern music and an early champion of Mahler; his emotionally charged performances brought the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra into the first rank of American orchestras. Generous and self-effacing, he was an innocent in the game of musical politics, unprepared for the intrigues and treachery in store when he became music director of the New York Philharmonic, "the orchestra that took no prisoners."

    This biography is at a par with Heyworth's Klemperer, Russell's Erich Kleiber, Sach's Toscanini, Zwart's Mengelberg, De Leur's Van Beinum, Peyser's Boulez; and Trotter's Stokowski. Anyone interested in one of classical music's genuine geniuses, indeed saints, should read it. From Dimitri's Greek compositorial beginnings until the bitter and heartrending end, a fate ridden by FBI conspiracy, New York 'philharmonical' cabales, Cold War era press intrigues and several Bernsteinian additions along the way... The tragic fate in fact resembles one of those many tragedies that Mitropoulos knew so very well how to bring alive--from Mozart and Verdi to Richard Strauss and Alban Berg.

    I'd like to add that a useful appendix, 'Building A Mitropoulos Record Collection', which is i.f. nothing less than a most comprehensive discography, is included. Several fine b/w photographs, too.

    Maëstro 'Mitro' does not deserve to fall into oblivion.
