Priest of Music: The Life of Dimitri Mitropoulos (Amadeus) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I stumbled on the name Dimitri Mitropoulos quite by accident, as one never hears him mentioned much in the same way Karajan, Bernstein, and others are.Neither have I heard any of his recordings.This book helped medelve into this great man's life - what a singular purpose of mind he had -total dedication to his craft.William Trotter succeeds in giving us notjust the details of his life (which, by themselves, are not exactlymundane), but also in bringing the reader the imagery, the depth of feelingof Mitropoulos' work.One can feel and see him conducting in his fullglory.Having had this marvellous biography brought to me, I am noweagerly buying whatever recordings conducted by Mitropoulos that I canfind.I agree with the other reader who commented - a discography would bemost welcome.
