In Concert: Onstage and Offstage with the Boston Symphony Orchestra
Carl A. Vigeland. University of Massachusetts Press, $15.95 (270pp) ISBN 978-0-87023-763-8
Principal BSO members, intense rehearsals and performance pieces including Mahler's Second Symphony are described in this overview of the orchestra's 1986-1987 season. ``Demystifying and humanizing,'' said PW. ``Vigeland is at his best in conveying the emotive power of music, making palpable the feelings of the musicians when a concert goes well and they are overwhelmed at the sound they have made.''
