Synopsis:
One of the greatest conductors of the 20th century, George Szell led the Cleveland Orchestra from 1946 until his death in 1970. A meticulous perfectionist, Szell was known to be an autocratic taskmaster who wielded total artistic control. Under his leadership he transformed the orchestra into a world class ensemble. Tales From the Locker Room gives a rare, honest, humorous and at times brutal look at this musical genius through first hand interviews, stories, and anecdotes by members of the Cleveland Orchestra who served under him.
About the Author: Lawrence Angell retired as Principal Double Bass in 1995 after 40 years working for the Cleveland Orchestra - 15 of those under George Szell. His is married to the outstanding pianist Anita Pontremoli. Larry is licensed pilot and flight instructor. Bernette Jaffe has her PhD in Education and spent her working career as head of the Ratner Schools. Her three sons and daughter in laws are her pride and joy as well as her eight grandchildren.
