Book Synopsis
This is the story of one of the world's great philharmonic societies, told by a distinguished conductor and writer. Established in 1828 with roots stretching back to the 1790's, it reflected and in many ways encapsulated the development of French culture, and of Western music, in the 19th and 20th centuries.
