Harvey Sachs’s lifelong study of Toscanini has paid off in his gigantic and extraordinary new book about the conductor. Indeed, I cannot think of another biography of a classical musician to which it can be compared: in its breadth, scope, and encyclopedic command of factual detail it reminds me of nothing so much as Robert A. Caro’s The Power Broker.
