This book...addresses a gap in current conductor biographies.... This book serves not only as an update and expansion of other studies...but as a vital source of concise yet detailed essays concerning some of today's most influential musicians.... Well-rounded.... Reader-friendly.... Maestros in America is an admirable, practical, and relatively comprehensive reference work.... This collection then, should serve not only as a valuable biographical resource, but also as a catalyst for further study.--Michael Mauskapf Notes, March 2009
