Attorney and author Ruttman has written a “deep dive into the minds of celebrated composers, conductors and performers, written not by a trained musician but by award-winning author and lifelong music lover Larry Ruttman.” He really has created an impressive piece of work; intimate, revealing and ultimately informative conversations with world-renowned musicians from across the classical spectrum. Ruttman is a skilled interviewer and writer, so his chats feel comfortable while probing. We hear from composer John Harbison, pianist Robert Levin, conductor Gil Rose, diva Susan Graham, violist Kim Kashkashian, and many more. All have a fascinating story to tell.
