Críticas:

'Rattle's is a story that will run and run... this book will have you on the edge of your seat.' Financial Times 'The year 2002 will, I believe, be a watershed for classical music. Rattle is central to that spirit of renewal, with Berlin, once again, the place to watch. Nicholas Kenyon's book is a fine portrait of one of the most fascinating musicians of our time and a model of critical documentary, elegantly composed.' Gramophone 'This account will fascinate from start to mid-breath finish - a fine study of a fertile subject.' Observer 'A perspicacious portrait of a brilliantly endowed muscian and of the social, economic and political context of his world... as this splendid book makes clear, Rattle is indeed the characteristic conductor of the 21st century.' Sunday Times 'The new book tells Rattle's story throughly and compellingly... as an introductory guide to the musical politics of the concert world, the record industry and post-unification Berlin Kenyon is unsurpassed.' BBC Music Magazine

Reseña del editor:

The most brilliant British conductor of his generation, Simon Rattlehas brought thrilling music-making to audiences around the world. Still in his mid-forties, Rattle became Music Director of the Berlin Philharmonic in 2002. What is the secret of his success, which has propelled him from being a Liverpool schoolboy with a fierce enthusiasm for getting orchestras together to his present stature as an internationally sought-after musician? Rattle is a musician for our times: a symphonic conductor with a repertory from Beethoven through to the present day, he is equally at home with the jazz of Duke Ellington and Leonard Bernstein, the historic performance practice of the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, new music and the world of children's music education. Nicholas Kenyon's biography, first published in l986 to critical acclaim, is fully updated and expanded with new chapters charting Rattle's move from his eighteen years' historic partnership with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra to his new post in Berlin. Kenyon also talks to friends and colleagues about what makes Rattle one of the most powerful musical communicators of our time.
