Sobre este artículo

Name inscribed FPD, slightest Tinge of toning, else content appears as new, unread and unblemished with near fine red, cloth covered boards displaying minimal surface/edge wear. Small dime size fade spot on face.

Unlike the Gilbert & Sullivan irascible whom "everybody says [is] such a disagreeable man, and I can't think why!," the controversial former General Manager of the Metropolitan Opera can occasionally think why, but it doesn't bother him a bit. After all, "Only a General Manager can tell Lily Pons she must not wear black tights in Rigoletto." It was during his apprenticeship in the theater via a bookshop/theatrical agency in his native Vienna that Bing first recognized the allure of this vocation: ". . .a thousand aspects of life are involved. . .every decision involves human elements." His first firm opportunity for management was with the opera house at Glynedebourne, England, an experience enlivened by the endearing eccentricities of the sponsor, exciting new talent and ""productive work." The war brought interruptions -- and unemployment -- but afterward he coordinated the Edinburgh Arts Festival and was invited to the Metropolitan -- "My dear Bing," warned Bruno Walter, "don't touch it." Then follows a testy account of what he found (worse than he imagined), and what he changed (staging, equipment, hiring innovations including the arrival of black artists, a financial and budgetary overhaul). But there were ongoing problems: the unions, the politics of Lincoln Center, those ""bankers"" on the board, and the clamor of newspaper critics (whom he detests) for expensive and fated "new" works (which do not, he insists, make for financial stability or audience support). Bing also strides into his own account of the Flagstad, Callas, Nilsson-von Karajan rumbles among others, and offers blithe observations of certain artists -- from Melchior in Tannhauser ("a moving couch covered with red plush") to George Szell ("he was a nasty man, God rest his soul"). Outrageously frank, thoroughly charming and disarmingly unrepentant -- Bing acts as his own counsel in a prima performance.

Sobre Eve's Reads

I no longer am in a store. Retired and now I am selling a huge inventory of rare and very old books. Huge selection of Jewish books, due to liquidation of a Jewish Temple.
