Where it came from
Published by the University of Illinois Press in 2014, this biography provides a comprehensive examination of the life and career of Fritz Reiner, one of the most influential and exacting conductors of the 20th century. Kenneth Morgan explores Reiner's tenure at the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, chronicling his pursuit of technical perfection and the transformative impact his rigid, disciplined approach had on the ensemble's sound.
The book addresses the duality of Reiner's reputation, reconciling his immense contributions to classical music recording and performance with his famously abrasive personality. Morgan draws upon extensive archival research to contextualize Reiner's migration from Hungary to the United States, positioning him within the broader history of immigrant conductors who defined the mid-century American orchestral landscape.
