- Summary:
-
Johanna Fiedler tells the story of one of America's most popular and beloved musicians: her father, Arthur Fiedler. A gifted young man who rose from his position as a violist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra to become the leader of the Boston Pops, Arthur Fiedler brought more people to classical music than any musician ever had - in concerts, on million-copy-selling recordings, and in the award-winning PBS television program "Evening at Pops." Johanna Fiedler poignantly and faithfully captures what it was like to grow up the daughter of this famous musician: the fun of being backstage during uproarious rehearsal sessions; the thrill of opening night at the Pops; the unreal quality of lives spent in the public eye; the sorrow of a family fractured by unhappiness and alcohol.
