Kirill Kondrashin: His Life in Music presents a full biography of the artist, from his humble background and early conducting experience at age 17, through his 20 years in Leningrad and at the Bolshoi Theatre; from his breaking with the Bolshoi and the expanded symphonic career that followed, through his defection in 1978 and his unexpected death of a heart attack in 1981. Twenty photos are included, as well as a full discography, bibliography, and index.
