5.0 out of 5 stars
5 Stars are not Enough!
This is a truly exciting book, and my hat is off to Dover for reprinting it. All the lucidity and committment that one hears in Weingartner's recorded performances is here translated into words that bring forth not only insights into his musical mind, but into the works which he discusses.

5 Stars are not Enough!,
By Ralph J. Steinberg "Lover of German Music" (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: On the Performance of Beethoven's Symphonies and Other Essays (Dover Books on Music) (Paperback)
This is a truly exciting book, and my hat is off to Dover for reprinting it. All the lucidity and committment that one hears in Weingartner's recorded performances is here translated into words that bring forth not only insights into his musical mind, but into the works which he discusses. Weingartner was one of the very few musicians who reveled in profundity and had little use for empty virtuosity (Schnabel, Furtwaengler and Landowska were some of the others). I think though, that some who are well acquainted with his recordings will find a few instances in which he disregards his own advice and follows a much freer interpretive course than what he prescribes. But then again, the greater the artist, the less he can fully pinpoint all of his gifts on page; rather, they are lived in performance.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book,
