FOR THE LOVE OF MUSIC A Conductor's Guide to the Art of Listening

by | Read by John Mauceri

Contemporary Culture • 6 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2019

What a treat this audio performance is. Professor and acclaimed conductor John Mauceri narrates his own work, employing his baritone with precision, grace, and high style. A longtime protégé of Leonard Bernstein, Mauceri provides both concrete and abstract concepts and frameworks for how to appreciate classical music. As the mystery that is music is explored, Mauceri's narration creates a dramatic story that, while thematic, is also practical and understandable. While some listener patience may be required as theories are developed, that patience is rewarded with deeper understanding. This is an engaging listening experience. Consider involving yourself.
