Trade ReviewMaestros in America is a welcome source on current conductors. * American Reference Books Annual *
This book...addresses a gap in current conductor biographies.... This book serves not only as an update and expansion of other studies...but as a vital source of concise yet detailed essays concerning some of today's most influential musicians.... Well-rounded.... Reader-friendly.... Maestros in America is an admirable, practical, and relatively comprehensive reference work.... This collection then, should serve not only as a valuable biographical resource, but also as a catalyst for further study. -- Michael Mauskapf * Notes: Quarterly Journal of the Music Library Association, March 2009 *
A very useful reference book.... The writing and usage are good (and that is unusual these days!). * American Record Guide, May/June 2009 *
