Behind the Baton:
An American Icon Talks Music
2007
Bloomsbury Publishing / Amadeus Press
“Behind the Baton is a quintessentially Schwarzian memoir: intrepid, forthright, risible, subtly self-assured, and entirely unpretentious. It offers an intimate inside look at a man whose immense talent is rivaled only by his humility and work ethic – a man who, for nearly fifty years, has strived to leave every orchestra and musician he touched better than when he found them.”
