Star Turns and Cameo Appearances: Memories of a Life among Musicians
$34.95
Bernard Jacobson
Star Turns and Cameo AppearancesĀ is the entertaining and insightful memoir by veteran music critic Bernard Jacobson. As a music critic and orchestra administrator, Jacobson has had the opportunity to observe these outstanding musicians and many of their colleagues at close quarters. Assisting Riccardo Muti at the Philadelphia Orchestra for eight years, he saw sides of that maestro not normally visible to the music-loving public. Throughout Star Turns and Cameo Performances, Jacobson adds his own sensitive and sympathetic view to public perceptions of musical luminaries of yesterday and today, helping to explain and illuminate their artistry.
